A divergent boundary is different than a convergent boundary in that

A. plates slide next to each other in a divergent boundary and collide in a convergent boundary
B. plates spread apart in a divergent boundary and collide in a convergent boundary
C. plates collide in a divergent boundary and slide next to each other in a convergent boundary
D. plates slide next to each other in a divergent boundary and spread apart in a convergent boundary

Respuesta :

The answer is B. Convergent boundaries collide with each other, the denser plate subducting and the other buoyant plate rising thus making mountain ranges (ex. Himalayas). Divergent boundaries move away from each other, and when a hotspot is below or near, makes volcanos (ex. Hawaiian Islands).
