The image shows the Convergent plate boundary.

Explanation:

Convergent boundaries occur wherever the Earth’s tectonic plates move or collide toward each other. As the plates converge, the denser, thinner tectonic plate sub-ducts or dives beneath the lighter, thicker, more buoyant tectonic plate.

As shown in the picture, the plates are composed of rigid lithosphere consisting of the crust of the earth and the uppermost mantle. Movement of the plates is driven by convection in the asthenosphere and lower mantle, which are softer and warmer than the lithosphere and can flow on geologic timescales. Convection is fuelled by heat generated from radioactive decay of elements in the Earth.

In 1998, Canada's highest court declared that Quebec could not legally secede.

Explanation:

Canada is the second largest country in the world. In order for the vast territory to be easier for governing, Canada is divided into provinces and territories. Such provinces and territories in Canada are:

Quebec
Ontario
Alberta
Manitoba
British Columbia
Saskatchewan etc.

While most of the provinces and territories have nothing against being in the borders of Canada, there is one that opposes it, that being Quebec. Quebec is one of the provinces that contributes the most to the GDP of the country, is one of the most populous, and has an excellent location.

This province doesn't want to be in the borders of Canada though, but instead wants to be independent. The main reasons for that are that the majority of the people of Quebec have different ethnic and cultural background than the rest of the provinces and territories. While the people of Quebec already had several referendums about independence, with the majority of the population voting for it, the Canadian highest court declared any attempts for seceding of Quebec illegal in 1998.
