Convergent plates are two tectonic plates that are colliding as they move toward each other. There are several types of converging plate boundaries.
Oceanic to oceanic plate convergence:
Where an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate, the more dense plate subducts into the mantle. The subduction results in the partial melting of lithospheric rock above the area of the subduction, causing underwater volcanoes to form. If the volcanoes grow to reach the surface, volcanic arc islands are formed. Oceanic to continental plate convergence:
Where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the oceanic plate is subducted due to the fact that it is more dense, which can also cause volcanism and mountain building. Continental to continental plate convergence:
Where two continental plates collide, neither subducts into the mantle, the crust is thickened, and mountain ranges are formed from the thickening and uplift.
The most common convergent boundaries are subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. This process typically occurs where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate or another oceanic plate. The resulting subduction can lead to volcanic activity, earthquakes, and the formation of mountain ranges.
The four types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries (plates moving apart), convergent boundaries (plates moving together), transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other), and subduction zones (one plate sinking beneath another).
Convergent boundaries are responsible for creating mountain ranges. When two tectonic plates collide, the land is forced upwards, creating intense pressure that results in the formation of mountain ranges. Examples of mountain ranges formed by convergent boundaries include the Himalayas and the Andes.
generally in mountain ranges
Convergent boundaries, where tectonic plates collide, can cause volcanic activity due to the subduction of one plate beneath another. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic island arcs, such as Japan or the Aleutian Islands.
Plates either move towards each other (convergent plates), away from each other (divergent plates) or slide next to each other (transform plates).
Rift Valleys are the most common at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.
The most common natural disasters that are a direct result of convergent boundaries and their shifts are earthquakes.
Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries
Reverse or thrust faults will be most common at convergent boundaries.
.....tectonic plates
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
Composite cone volcanos are the most common.. Shielding and other types are results from a divergent boundary.
Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.
Most of the volcanoes at convergent boundaries are stratovolcanoes.

An example of convergent plate boundaries on earth is the Himalayas. :)
