There are 3 plate boundaries called Destructive, Constructive and Conservative.
Destructive (Convergent) is when the plates move towards each and the denser plate subducts in some cases. There are three and they include:
Oceanic- Oceanic- Volcanoes and Earthquakes
Oceanic- Continental- Powerful Earthquakes
Continental- Continental (Colliding Plates)- Fold Mountains.
Conservative (Transform) plate boundary is when two plates slide past each other and only earthquakes occur at this plate boundary.
Constructive (Divergent) plate boundary is when two plates move apart from each other and minor earthquakes and volcanoes occur at this plate boundary.
