Plates move away from each other Land is created Volcanoes and earthquakes exist here Two pieces of oceanic crust Eg. the Mid-Atlantic Ridge

Divergent (binary/octet-stream)

Convergent

Plates move towards  each other Land is destroyed Volcanoes, tsunamis and earthquakes exist here One piece of oceanic crust, one piece of continental crust Oceanic crust subducts because it is denser

Convergent (binary/octet-stream)

Collsional

Plates move towards each other Land is neither created nor destroyed Fold mountains, landslides and earthquakes exist here Two pieces of continental crust Eg. the Himalayas

Collisional (binary/octet-stream)

Conservative

Plates move past each other Land is neither created nor destroyed Earthquakes exist here Two pieces of continental crust Eg. San Andreas
