In which plate boundary two plates move towards each other and collide called convergent plate boundary. And causes devastation. E.g. Earthquake, Vulcanicity. In which plate boundary two plates move in opposite direction and do not collide called divergent plate boundary. Mountain building is the result of this type of plate boundary's action. In transform fault both the plates slide each other and causes fault in the sea floor.

Explanation:

Plate is a rigid and solid crustal block which is mobile in character and found in the asthenosphere in the upper mantle. It prevails in semi liquid and viscous condition where plates move easily. There are seven major plates and twenty minor plates. Plates are of two types. Continental plate and oceanic plate.

Where two plates collide with each other that area is known as plate boundary and the edge of plate is known as plate margin. Plate boundary is of three types: Convergent, divergent and transform plate boundary. These are also known as constructive, destructive and neutral plate boundaries.

olganol [36]

Answer:

Population density.

Explanation:

Population density is a statistical data that allows graphing the number of people living in a given territory, dividing the number of inhabitants of that territory by its size, usually in square kilometers or square miles.

Thus, the more the population increases in a territory, the more its population density will increase. An example of territories with a high population density is Hong Kong, with about 7,000 inhabitants per square kilometer, while an example of a nation with a low population density is Canada, with 4 inhabitants per square kilometer.
