This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
Plate boundaries where the two plates move towards each other are known as convergent boundaries.
It is called a *colliding boundary*. A colliding boundary is where two plates move towards each other.
it is called a mid ocean ridge
Convergent boundary
It is called Convergent Boundary

Convergence Boundary.
What occurs when the plates slide each other is a boundary forming. this boundary is called a transform boundary.
Continental boundary.
divergent= move away from each other convergent= CONVERGE together strike-slip= brushing past each other A divergent boundary occurs at the point where two plates are moving away from each, creating more crust at the point of separation. A convergent boundary is where two plates are both moving into each other, neither subducting under the other, but pushing up the crust. A strike slip boundary occurs when plates are colliding at an angle. Tension builds up and is released in the form of an earthquake.

A fault.
When plates slide past each other, it is known as a transform boundary. This movement causes earthquakes along the fault line between the two plates. Friction between the plates can build up over time, eventually releasing in a sudden movement that shakes the Earth's surface.
Lithospheric plates, which also are called tectonic plates, move towards or away from each other when an earthquake occurs.
Transform boundary is when the plates are sliding past each other: ↑ ↓; Divergent is when plates are sliding away from each other: ← →; and convergent is when plates are sliding towards each other: → ←. Those are the three main plate boundaries.
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.

as the plates move towards each other the denser plate subducts into the asthenphere
