The task is to match each type of plate boundary with the best analogy description provided. Let's analyze each option:

  1. Convergent: This type of plate boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move towards each other and collide. The best analogy for this is "Cars crash in a head-on collision," as it represents two objects moving towards each other and meeting with force.

  2. Divergent: This type of plate boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. The analogy "You rub your hands together" does not fit this description. A more fitting analogy would be something that represents separation, such as "Lovebirds part and go separate ways."

  3. Transform fault: This type of plate boundary occurs when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. The analogy "You rub your hands together" fits this description well, as it involves a sliding motion.

Therefore, the correct matches are:

  • Convergent: Cars crash in a head-on collision.
  • Divergent: Lovebirds part and go separate ways.
  • Transform fault: You rub your hands together.
