(a) Divergent boundaries refer to plates that separate and move apart in
opposite directions forming new lithosphere - the young seafloor. This
either occurs at mid-ocean ridges (seafloor spreading) or at rifted
continental margins (rift valley).
(b) Convergent boundaries are formed when two plates move toward each
other. Oceanic plate bends downward at the subduction zone. This occurs
in two oceanic plates: convergent boundary and continental plateoceanic
plate convergent boundary. Oceanic plate sinks because it is denser than
the continental plate. In case of convergence of two oceanic plates, the
older plate sinks. Whereas in the convergence of two continental plates,
they collide and buckle up forming mountain ranges. No subduction
occurs in this type of convergence.
(c) Transform fault boundaries are plates sliding past or slipping past each
other.
