Transform fault - plates slide past one another with no creation or destruction of lithosphere.
Divergent boundary - two plates diverge, or move apart and new crust or lithosphere is formed.
Convergent boundary - plates converge, or come together. If a plate of oceanic lithosphere
collides with thicker and less dense continental lithosphere, the denser
oceanic plate will dive beneath the continent in a subduction zon.
