What plates are involved in a subduction plate?
Convergence between oceanic plate and one continental plate. Convergence between two oceanic plates.
What is an example of a continental-continental plate convergence?
The Himalayas
Compare and contrast the three plate boundaries?
Oceanic-continental convergence (when an oceanic plate meets a continental plate) & oceanic-oceanic convergence (2 oceanic plates) both involve oceanic plates & subduction. Continental-continental convergence (2 continental plates) involves neither.
What results from an oceanic plate to oceanic plate convergence?
The convergence creates a trench where the more dense of the two plates flows downward toward the mantle. Earthquakes may occur in the area of the plate boundary, as well as volcanism.
What is an example of an continental-oceanic boundary?
Andes, convergence between South American Plate and Pacific Plate
What plates are involved in a subduction plate?
Convergence between oceanic plate and one continental plate. Convergence between two oceanic plates.
What plate boundary was the Shensi Earthquake?
Convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate.

Could the Himalaya mountains be formed into a continental-continental convergence?
The Himalayas are formed from a continental to continental plate convergence.
What tectonic plate boundary happened in china sichuan province?
Convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate.
What results from an oceanic plate to oceanic plate convergence?
The convergence creates a trench where the more dense of the two plates flows downward toward the mantle. Earthquakes may occur in the area of the plate boundary, as well as volcanism.
Is mid ocean ridges the result of plate convergence?
