How does a convergent boundary differ from a divergent boundary?
a. a convergent boundary is where plates come together and a divergent boundary is where they move apart from each other.
b. a convergent boundary is where plates move apart from each other and a divergent boundary is where they come together.
c. a convergent boundary is where plates slide past each other and a divergent boundary is where plates come together.
d. there is no difference between a convergent and a divergent boundary.

The answer is a. A convergent boundary is where plates come together and a divergent boundary is where they move apart from each other.

Convergent and divergent boundaries, together with transform boundaries, are types of plate tectonic boundaries. The convergent boundaries are where tectonic plates come together. This results in the formation of mountains and subduction zones. The opposite of this is the divergent boundary. The divergent boundaries are where tectonic plates move apart from each other. At the divergent boundaries, oceanic crust is created.
