divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
Plate boundaries.
A convergent plate boundary is where two plates move towards each other. This can result in one plate being forced beneath the other in a process called subduction, or the plates can collide and create mountain ranges.
The three main plate movements are: 1) Divergent boundary, where plates move away from each other; 2) Convergent boundary, where plates move towards each other; and 3) Transform boundary, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
Transform boundary is when the plates are sliding past each other: ↑ ↓; Divergent is when plates are sliding away from each other: ← →; and convergent is when plates are sliding towards each other: → ←. Those are the three main plate boundaries.

This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
as the plates move towards each other the denser plate subducts into the asthenphere

Convergent plate boundary: Two plates move towards each other, leading to one plate being forced underneath the other in a process known as subduction. Divergent plate boundary: Two plates move apart from each other, creating new crust as magma rises to fill the gap between them. Transform plate boundary: Two plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes along the plate boundary.

Yes, Mount Pinatubo is located in the Philippines, but it is not on a convergent plate boundary. It is actually located along the boundary of two tectonic plates, the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate, which are moving towards each other at a convergent boundary.
Transform boundary is when the plates are sliding past each other: ↑ ↓; Divergent is when plates are sliding away from each other: ← →; and convergent is when plates are sliding towards each other: → ←. Those are the three main plate boundaries.
