A divergent boundary is when two tectonic plates move away from one another, or even diverge. The video below shows an example of how divergent boundaries diverge over the years.

The tension occurs at the divergent boundaries the lithosphere begins to thin. Thinning allows the asthenosphere to rise toward Earth's surface and melt.  The melting produces magma that rises to the surface and cools. This process forms new lithosphere at the divergent boundaries. However, the old lithosphere does not become bigger; it is destroyed in subduction zones

A convergent boundary is when tectonic plates move toward each other and collide. The video below shows an example of a convergent boundary with subduction.

Convergent Boundary with two Continental Plates Meeting

When two continental plates meet together the plates push up against each other ; the resulting compression causes rocks to buckle. This kind of boundary occurs when the Indian plate meets the Eurasian plate.

A transform boundary is when two tectonic plates can move past on other in opposite directions. The video below shows an example of transform boundaries at work.

The San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary. It is located between the North American plate and Pacific plates. However, transform boundaries are not found on the ocean floor.

Subduction is the process of one plate sinking below another. An example is when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. The denser plate sinks beneath the less dense continental plate; which is subduction.

Shear stress commonly occurs at transform boundaries. Shear stress is a force that causes layers or parts to slide upon each other  in opposite directions.
