Answer:
When
two tectonic plates converge, the crust is destroyed and recycled back into the
interior of the Earth as one plate dives under another. Mountains and volcanoes
are often found where plates converge. The Himalayas were formed due to the
converging of the Eurasian plate with the Indo-Australian plate.
At divergent boundaries, new crust is created as two plates pull away
from each other. Oceans are born and grow wider where plates diverge or pull
apart. When a diverging boundary occurs on land, a 'rift' will arise and the
mass of land will break apart into distinct land masses. A divergent boundary
between the North American and Eurasian plates has caused a ridge in the middle
of the Atlantic Ocean.
