A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth's mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is an example of divergent plate boundaries.

Convergent boundaries form when two crustal plates are colliding. When a continental plate and an ocean plate converge the ocean plate is heavier and subducts beneath the continental plate. The plates form a subduction zone with one plate descending beneath the other plate.

Transform boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past each other. At transform boundaries lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed.
