Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.
At a convergent plate boundary, two tectonic plates are moving toward each other; at a divergent plate boundary, two tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
The diverging boundary is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.
A convergent plate (or destructive plate) margin is where two plates move towards eachother. If the two plates are continental (land), then fold mountains will be formed. If they are both oceanic (ocean), then the older and denser plate will subduct beneath the lighter and younger plate. If there is one continental and one oceanic plate, then the oceanic plate will ALWAYS subduct beneath the continental plate.
A divergent plate (constructive) margin on the other hand is where two plates move away from each other. At these boundaries mid oceanic ridges are often formed, apart from in East Africa, where there is the only over land rift valley.
A convergent plate collide with each other (eg. Eurasian Plate n Indo Australian Plate) but a divergent plate spread apart (eg. American n Eurasian Plate).
Convergent means where plates are moving together. Divergent means where plates are moving apart.
In covergent boundaries two plate come towards each other and the one which is more denser will sink below another.
In divergent boundaries plates move away from each other
In the simplest terms, plates at a convergent boundary are coming together, while at a divergent boundary they are moving apart.
A convergent plate boundarie is where two plates collide or push against each other. a divergent plate boundarie is where two plates drag away from each other i hope this helped
Converging tectonic plates are moving together or toward each other. Diverging plates are moving apart.

divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
A plate is not classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, a plate boundary i.e. a boundary between plates is. All three types of plate boundary can be found along the edges of the North American plate.
The Mariana Trench is a convergent plate boundary.
At a convergent boundary. if seafloor is created at a divergent boundary then it must be the opposite (at a convergent boundary) where is being destroyed.
Shearing stress is one of three kinds of stresses. Compressional and tensional are the others. Shearing stress is associated with transform. The other two kinds of plate boundaries are convergent and divergent.
what is the type of plate boundary? divergent, convergent, and transform
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
No but is it on a divergent plate boundary
Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.
It was formed from the volcanism created by a subducting oceanic plate at a convergent plate boundary.
Convergent on the western perimeter, divergent on the Easter perimeter.
Its along a divergent plate boundary.
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
The Mariana Trench is a convergent plate boundary.
A plate is not classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, a plate boundary i.e. a boundary between plates is. All three types of plate boundary can be found along the edges of the North American plate.
I believe the red sea is located at a divergent plate boundary.
Krakatoa is an convergent boundary with a subduction zone
