The border between two tectonic plates is called a boundary. All
the tectonic plates are constantly moving around the
planet, but in many different directions and very slowly.
Some are moving toward each
other, some are moving apart, and some are sliding past each other.
Because of these differences, tectonic plate boundaries are grouped into
three types:
- Convergent Boundary: two plates are pushing towards each other
- Divergent Boundary: two plates are moving apart from each other
-
- Transform Boundary: two plates slide past each other
