Question

What is the major difference between the transform boundary and the convergent or divergent boundaries of plates?

Answer 1

The major difference between the transform boundary and the convergent or divergent boundaries of plates are as follows:

• Transform Boundaries: Where the crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
• Convergent Boundaries: Where the crust is destroyed as one plate dived under another, it is called convergent boundaries.
• Divergent Boundaries: Where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other, these are called divergent boundaries.
