Answer:

Convergent boundary is formed

when two plates move toward each other.

This boundary has three types: Oceanic-

Continental plate boundary, Two Oceanic

plate boundary, and Two Continental

plate boundary. In Oceanic-Continental

plate boundary and two oceanic plate

boundary, the oceanic plate bends down

into the mantle through the process called

subduction. The leading edge of the

subducted plate melts in the mantle andmagma rises forming a continental volcanic arc in oceanic-continental plate

boundary, which is parallel to the trench that is formed due to subduction while in

two oceanic plate boundary, island volcanic arc is formed parallel to the trench. An

earthquake occurs at this boundary. Since the oceanic plate is destroyed at the

convergent boundary, this boundary is also called a destructive boundary. Examples

are boundaries between the Eurasian plate and the Philippine plate, Nazca Plate and

South American Plate, and Pacific Plate and Australian Plate. With two continental

plates converging, a tension zone is formed. Both plates collide and buckle up

causing mountain ranges such as the Himalayas mountain ranges. There is no

subduction, no trench, and no volcanoes formed in this type of convergent boundary.
