At a convergent boundary, plates move towards each other.
Convergent means where plates are moving together. Divergent means where plates are moving apart.

Convergent Plates
A convergent plate boundary is a place where tectonic plates are moving together. The plates are sliding across the the plastic asthenosphere.
Convergent plates move towards each other, leading to a collision or subduction of the plates. This movement can result in the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.

At convergent boundaries plates come together. In other words, they converge.
When plates collide it is called a convergent boundary.newtest3
The movement or action of the plate determines what type it is. When two plates collide, they are creating a convergent boundary. Therefore you could state that they are convergent (or colliding) tectonic plates.
