A transform plate boundary is a type of plate boundary where two tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other, neither creating nor destroying lithosphere, but rather causing earthquakes and faulting

A divergent plate boundary, also known as a constructive or extensional boundary, is a geological feature where two tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise and create new crust, such as mid-ocean ridges

A convergent plate boundary, also known as a destructive boundary, is a location where two or more tectonic plates collide, and one plate typically slides beneath the other in a process called subduction, leading to geological events like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation.
