What is an example of an continental-oceanic boundary?
Andes, convergence between South American Plate and Pacific Plate
What is and example of a convergent plate?
The convergence of the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate in the northwestern United States is an example. In this case, it has resulted in mountain building and volcanism.
What plates are involved in a subduction plate?
Convergence between oceanic plate and one continental plate. Convergence between two oceanic plates.
What are the three possible tectonic plate combinations at convergent boundaries?
Each of the plates may be oceanic or continental. That gives three possibilities:oceanic - oceanicoceanic - continentalcontinental - continental.
What is a example of convergence?
Convergence of telecommunications
What is an example of a oceanic-oceanic plate convergence?
The Mariana Islands

What plate boundary was the Shensi Earthquake?
Convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate.
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.
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.
