Types of Plate Boundaries

Tectonic plates interact along three main types of boundaries: divergent boundaries, where plates move apart and new crust forms; convergent boundaries, where plates move together and one may sink beneath the other or push up mountains; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other. The type of boundary largely determines what kind of geologic activity, like volcanoes, earthquakes, or mountain building, is most likely to occur there.
