Convergent Boundary
The defontion of this is when plates move around each other and they collide.
1.) Oceanic-continental-convergence-When the oceanic plate converges with the continental plate the oceanic plate sinks under the continental plate. The area where the oceanic plate goes down under another plate and goes into the mantal that is called the subdution zone. The subdution zones along with the Oceanic-Continantal boundary can create a deep-sea trench, a trench is a long, narrow, deep deprassion on the sea-floor. There are many trenches that occur around the margain of the Pacific ocean because of the subduction. High tempertures cause rock to melt around the oceanic plate as it goes under the continental plate.
2.) Oceanic-oceanic convergence-When the oceanic plate meets another oceanic plate the older, the colder, and the denser the oceanic plate bends and sinks into the mantle. New crust is then formed as the magma rises to make volcanos. Oceanic-oceanic convergence creates the deep-sea treanches. The islands of Japan and the Japan trench were formed by oceanic plates converging.
3.) Continental-Convergence-When the two plates of continental crust collide and crumple up, the tall mountain ranges may form. Earthquakes are very common at these convergent boundaies. Volcanos don't form, however there are so little.
