Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.
Divergence, convergence, and grinding.
Plates just move around, sometimes they go under each other ( when two plates collide, convergence), or they move apart(divergence), or slide past each other(transform). Somehow there is enough space. Who wrote ' in the dishwasher'?
At transform plate boundaries, tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other. This movement can result in earthquakes as friction between the plates is released suddenly. Transform boundaries are characterized by lateral movement rather than convergence or divergence.
An example of a continental-continental plate convergence is the collision boundary between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate that formed the Himalayas. The convergence between these two plates has led to the uplift of the Himalayan mountain range over millions of years due to the ongoing collision between the two continental plates.

oceanic convergence is when two oceanic plates subduct beneath one another.
oceanic convergence is when two oceanic plates subduct beneath one another.
The differences are that when the earth's plates push together
The three types of convergence are geographic convergence (physical distance), technological convergence (integration of different technologies), and economic convergence (alignment of economies).
convergence
oceanic convergence is when two oceanic plates subduct beneath one another.
Convergence can occur between oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental plates. This process typically leads to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic arcs.
