Are subducting plate boundaries the same as convergent plate boundaries?
A subduction zone can be a result of a convergent plate boundary, but the terms are not synonymous. If the two convergent plates are continental, neither of them will subduct.
Is a stratovolcano a divergent volcano?
No. Stromboli is associated with a subduction zone, which is a convergent boundary.
What types of plate boundaries have subduction zone?
Convergent boundaries can form between two oceanic plates, between one oceanic plate and one continental plate, or between two continental plates.
Which convergent plate boundry does not include a subduction zone and why?
The plate boundary is continental - continental. This creates mountains and earthquakes, but one plate doesn't go under the other
What boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?
It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).
What happens a a convergent boundary?
a subduction zone forms
what happens to a convergent boundary?
a subduction zone forms
What plate boundary is in the Himalayan mountains?
The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.
Is the subduction zone a plate boundary?
Yes. They occur at convergent plate boundaries (especially oceanic-continental and occasionally at oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries).

What is the type of plate boundary where two plates move together causig one of the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath an overriding plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.
What boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?
It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).
What type of boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate?
a convergent boundary. The oceanic plate is then subducted under the continental plate because it is denser. This subduction creates earthquakes and volcanoes
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
