Tectonic plate boundaries are the edges where two tectonic plates meet, and they are critical sites for geological activity, including earthquakes and volcanoes. There are three main types of boundaries: convergent (where plates collide), divergent (where plates move apart), and transform (where plates slide past each other) [1][2][8][10]. Each type is associated with specific geological features, such as mountain ranges at convergent boundaries and ocean ridges at divergent boundaries [3][5][6].
