A divergent boundary occurs at the point where two plates are moving away from each, creating more crust at the point of separation. A convergent boundary is where two plates are both moving into each other, neither subducting under the other, but pushing up the crust. A strike slip boundary occurs when plates are colliding at an angle. Tension builds up and is released in the form of an earthquake.
