A simple answer is: Colliding and subductive as they consume the Earth as a portion of the plate is moved beneath another plate and remelted into magma. A common example is the western side of South America where the denser oceanic Pacific Plate moves under the less dense continental South American Plate. The Pacific melts into magma and the South American rises to form the Andes Mts. with a great deal of volcanic activity.

What continents edges are not on plate boundaries at all?
Atlantic plate , pacific plate and north American plate
Are the plate boundaries the same as the edges of continents?
No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.

Can one plate have several types of plate boundaries?
All of the tectonic plates have different types of plate boundaries, most having all three types of plate boundaries. Convergent, where the plate is subducting under another plate, divergent, where the plate is pulling away from another plate, and transform boundaries where the plates are sliding past each other.
