    Convergent boundaries occur where tectonic plates collide and come together, forming mountains and volcanic arcs. Divergent boundaries occur where plates separate and new crust is formed, creating mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys. Transform boundaries occur where plates slide past each other, forming faults and causing earthquakes.
