What is the major difference between the transform boundary and the convergent or divergent boundaries of plates?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The major difference between the transform boundary and the convergent or divergent boundaries of plates are as follows:
(a) Transform Boundaries: Where the crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
(b) Convergent Boundaries: Where the crust is destroyed as one plate dived under another, it is called convergent boundaries.
(c) Divergent Boundaries: Where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other, these are called divergent boundaries.
