• Tectonic plates that move away from each other
• Plates that remain stationary
• Tectonic plates that move towards one another

• Plates that move in a circular motion

What are divergent boundaries?

• Tectonic plate boundaries where two plates merge together
• Tectonic plate boundaries where two plates slide past each other

• Divergent boundaries occur when two tectonic plates move away from each other

• Tectonic plate boundaries where two plates collide

What are transform boundarie?

• Transform boundaries are areas where tectonic plates rotate around each other.
• Transform boundaries are areas where tectonic plates move vertically.
• Transform boundaries are areas where tectonic plates converge

• Transform boundaries grind past each other without going up or down
