Convergent boundary
1.When two plates move towards each other they are called converging.
2.Convergence of two plate boundaries leads to the folding of land and formation of mountains.
3.When they converge, subduction takes place and lithosphere is being consumed.Hence it is also called as destructive plate boundaries.

Divergent boundary
1.When two plates move away from each other they are called diverging.
2.Divergence of two plate boundaries causes the fracture in landforms.
3.When they diverge, new lithosphere is being formed by accretion.Hence it is also called as constructive plate boundaries..
