Question

What occurs along a convergent plate boundary ?

Answer 1

What happens along a convergent plate boundary?

If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. ... The new magma (molten rock) rises and may erupt violently to form volcanoes, often building arcs of islands along the convergent boundary

Answer 2

Two plates pull towards each other

Step-by-step explanation:

Along a convergent plate boundary, two plates moves towards each other as the move in the same direction.

This results in different forms of plate interactions depending on the plate types.

• At an ocean - ocean and continental - ocean convergent front, subduction of the oceanic plate occurs. This is because the oceanic plate below is denser than the asthenosphere.
• At a continental - continental convergent front, the continental crust is pulls upward and build up as a mountain.
• The subduction produces trenches and some volcanic islands.
