It looks like you have a set of definitions related to tectonic plate boundaries, but some of them are mixed up. Here’s the correct pairing of terms with their definitions:

  1. Convergent Boundary
    Area where tectonic plates meet and push against each other.

  2. Divergent Boundary
    Area where tectonic plates are moving away from each other.

  3. Fault Line
    Area along plate boundaries and ridges where the crust of the lithosphere is fractured.

  4. Subduction Zone
    Area where an oceanic plate sinks into the asthenosphere under another plate.

  5. Transform Boundary
    Area where tectonic plates slide sideways past each other.
