well transform boundaries are when 2 plates rub against each other and convergent boundaries and when plates come together and divergent boundaries are when plates move apart. So eventually one plate will collide into another then will another then again until it forms a Pangea

Answer:

If tectonic plates, which carry different continents, collide, they could create a supercontinent, like the pangea.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the movement of tectonic plates, which generate seismic and volcanic activities, the pieces of earth were dividing and eventually drifted away over the years, thus separating the continents. Because of this movement, the continents can unite again, creating a supercontinent. That is because, the continents are on top of the tectonic plates and these plates are in constant movement. If two plates carrying two different continents collide, they can unite these continents into one.
