convergent boundary
A convergent boundary that does not have a subduction zone is a continental-continental convergent boundary. At this type of boundary, two continental plates collide and crumple, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas. Since both plates are buoyant and primarily composed of continental crust, neither plate is forced beneath the other, unlike in oceanic-continental or oceanic-oceanic boundaries.
The three types of convergent boundaries are when two plates meet and two oceanic plate meet, or where an oceanic and continental plate meet.the three types of convergent boundaries are continent boundaries , continent - ocean boundaries, and last but not least............. ocean boundaries
When continental plates move toward each other, it is called a convergent plate boundary. This can lead to the collision and subduction of the plates, causing mountain building and deep ocean trench formation.
Oceanic-continental convergent boundary: Where oceanic plates subduct beneath continental plates, creating deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs on the overriding plate. Continental-continental convergent boundary: Where two continental plates collide, causing intense folding and faulting to create mountain ranges. An example is the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate, forming the Himalayas.

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.
the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.
A Collision plate boundary, where two continental plates that are the same in density and thickness, push against each other forming fold mountains and crumble zones. This causes Earthquakes from the pressure and stress but not volcanoes.
At a convergent boundary, three types of collisions can occur: oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental. In an oceanic-oceanic collision, one oceanic plate subducts beneath the other, forming a deep ocean trench. In an oceanic-continental collision, an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate, creating volcanic arcs and mountain ranges. In a continental-continental collision, both continental plates crumple and fold, forming high mountain ranges.
at an oceanic to continental convergent boundary trenches and volcanic mountains can form. at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary trenches and volcanic islands can form. at a continental to continental convergent boundary fold mountains can form
