I assume you meant a tectonic plate boundary? When a weaker plate collides with a stronger plate, the weaker plate may be subducted, (forced downwards) and into the mantle. When the Indian Plate collided with the European Plate, the Indian Plate was subducted beneath the European Plate, which raised the European plate and caused the formation of the Himalayas Mountain Range.

What does a conservative boundary cause?

A conservative boundary causes no flow of mass across it, but allows for the transfer of energy or heat. This means that there is no change in the amount of substance entering or exiting the system, but there can be an exchange of thermal energy through the boundary.

What are conservative plate boundaries?

Conservative plate boundaries, also known as transform boundaries, are areas where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. An example of a conservative plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
