This questions was previously asked in

SSC CGL 23rd August 2021 Shift-1

Convergent

Transform

Continental

Divergent

- Option 1: Convergent

- At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates collide.

- One plate is often forced beneath another in a process called subduction.

- This can cause earthquakes and volcanic activity.

- Option 2: Transform

- Plates slide past each other horizontally at transform boundaries.

- Do not create or destroy crust, but can lead to earthquakes.

- Option 3: Continental

- This option is not a type of plate boundary.

- Continental generally refers to land-based tectonic activity.

- Option 4: Divergent

- At divergent boundaries, plates move away from each other.

- This can result in new crust forming through volcanic activity below oceans.
