continental plate
convergent boundary

divergent boundary
rewatch

Explanation:

• A convergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move towards each other. In the case of an oceanic plate and a continental plate, the denser oceanic plate subducts (dives beneath) the less - dense continental plate.
• A transform boundary is where two plates slide past each other horizontally.
• A divergent boundary is where two plates move apart from each other.

Answer:

convergent boundary
