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 three types of convergent plate boundaries are divergent, convergent, and transform
The three types of convergent plate boundaries are Oceanic-Oceanic, Continental-Continental, Continental-Oceanic.
Oceanic-Oceanic, Oceanic-Continental, and Continental-Continental are all sub types of convergent plate boundaries.
This forms on the plate tectonic boundaries.... particularly the convergent plate boundries.
the types of plate boundaries are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries i hope i help alot ok
what is the type of plate boundary? divergent, convergent, and transform
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate 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
Three types of plate boundaries are spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. um actually they are divergent, convergent, and transform
Plate boundaries are places where two tectonic plates meet. There are three major types of plate boundaries. These are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
There are three primary types of tectonic plate boundaries. They pertain of Divergent boundaries, Convergent boundaries and Transform-fault boundaries.
