Here are the correct matches for the plate boundaries with their best analogy descriptions:

  1. Convergent - Cars crash in a head-on collision.
    (At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates move towards each other, similar to a collision.)

  2. Divergent - Lovebirds part and go separate ways.
    (At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart from each other, like lovebirds separating.)

  3. Transform fault - You rub your hands together.
    (At transform boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, similar to the motion of rubbing your hands together.)
