Answer 1

Your earth science homework is rather dumb. It is a stupid question.

Answer 2

Well it depends on the context of the boundary.

If it is a ocean-continent collision its a subduction zone.

In the context of faults its a reverse fault (or thrust fault).

You can also call them destructive boundaries as crust is destroyed at them.
