Question

In Plate tectonics, what are the differences between divergent and convergent boundaries ?

Answer 1

Divergent plates are two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.Convergent plates are when the pieces of the lithosphere move toward each other and collide

Answer 2

There are three types of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.

!!These are very simplified answers!!

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

Convergent boundaries occur when two tectonic plates come together.

Transform plate boundaries occur when two tectonic plates slide past one another.
