Types of Plate Boundaries

A divergent plate boundary is:

• a region where two tectonic plates move away from each other

• a region where two tectonic plates collide

• a region where two tectonic plates slide past each other

• a region where tectonic plates remain stationary

A convergent plate boundary is a type of boundary where:

• Two tectonic plates move away from each other.

• Two tectonic plates slide past each other.

• Two tectonic plates move towards each other.

• Two tectonic plates remain stationary.
