Convergent - Mountains on the continent, trenches in the ocean. A good example of this is the Nazca Plate and South American Plate boundary where you have the Peru-Chile Trench and the Andes Mountains.

Divergent - Mid-ocean ridge. The mid-Atlantic ridge is a divergent boundary.

Conservative - also known as a transform fault, these have no commonly associated landforms.
