Answer 2

Converging means getting closer to something while diverging means going away.
Converging lens usually have more "meat" in the middle of the lens while diverging have more "meat" on the sides on the lens.

Answer 3

from google: "Converging lenses can be identified by their shape; they are relatively thick across their middle and thin at their upper and lower edges. A diverging lens is a lens that diverges rays of light that are traveling parallel to its principal axis."
