There are three main types of plate boundaries:
Conservative plate boundary
A conservative plate boundary is also known as a 'transform' boundary.
Example: San Andreas fault - North American plate and Pacific plate
Convergent plate boundary
There are two main types of convergent plate boundaries:
The difference in between the two is basically relating to the different types of crust.
As you can see, there are 3 different combinations of crust:
Oceanic to oceanic and continental to oceanic are called destructive plate boundaries because a crust is subducted under the other.
*oceanic crust is denser than continental crust that just floats on magma*
Continental to continental are called collision plate boundaries because they are of the same density and the two crusts can collide with each other to form fold mountains.
*plates are of same density, cannot be destroyed nor created, plates buckle and form fold mountains*
But these two types are go under the big title of convergent plate boundaries
In a convergent plate boundary, the plates move towards each other.
