Divergent Plate Boundary - is formed when two tectonic plates move apart
from each other.
Convergent Plate Boundary - is formed when two plates move toward each
other. It has three types – Oceanic-Continental, Oceanic-Oceanic, and
Continental-Continental Convergent Boundary.
Transform fault boundary - is formed when two plates are sliding past each
other.

The interaction of the plates produces earthquakes, mountains, volcanoes, and
other geologic features:

(5 MINUTES) Science Connection:
Outside of plate boundaries, 'divergent' and 'convergent' have broad uses. In
psychology, they describe modes of thinking. In math, they deal with series, and in
physics, they relate to kinds of curved mirrors.
