Divergent Boundaries and Convergent Boundaries
Places where convergent boundaries show up are where tectonic plates crash or crunch together. Divergent Boundaries are places where plates move apart. Plates barely move they are slower than a snail, so collisions can last REALLY long. Convergent Boundaries make mountains and sometimes volcanoes. Mountains were mostly created not volcanoes. Mountains are created when one plate goes down and one plate goes up, soon the water will erode the land into a mountain. Divergent Boundaries always make volcanoes but no mountains. Volcanoes are created when the plates move back and magma goes up it soon makes a active volcanoes. Earthquakes are caused when plates smash together.
