What is a convergent boundary?

• A place where two tectonic plates move away from each other

• A place where two tectonic plates move towards each other

• A place where two tectonic plates slide past each other

What happens at a divergent boundary?

• Tectonic plates move towards each other

• Tectonic plates move away from each other

• Tectonic plates slide past each other

What is a transform boundary?

• A place where tectonic plates move away from each other

• A place where tectonic plates move towards each other

• A place where tectonic plates slide past each other

What is subduction?

• When one tectonic plate slides past another

• When one tectonic plate moves away from another

• When one tectonic plate goes under another
