Answer:

Convergent plates collide causing earthquakes and volcanoes, and creating mountains.

Therefore second answer, The plates move towards each other at these boundaries and the more dense plate will sink under the less dense plate into the mantle where it is destroyed. (This creates a trench.)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the lithosphere the plates melt when they go down.

!!!

Remember:

Convergent = Collide

Divergent = Divide

Transform = Slide
