What is the difference between a divergent and convergent boundary?

• Convergent boundaries push against each other, divergent boundaries push away.

• Convergent boundaries push away from each other, divergent boundaries bump into each other.

• There is no difference.

• Divergent boundaries are under the water, convergent boundaries are in the mountains.
