Does a subduction occur in a convergent boundary?

Yes, subduction occurs at a convergent boundary—but specifically when an oceanic plate converges with another plate. Here’s how it works: 🔁 Convergent Boundary Types: Oceanic-Continental Convergence The denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the lighter continental plate. 🌋 Example: Andes Mountains (South America) Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence One oceanic plate subducts beneath the other, forming island arcs. 🌋 Example: Japan, Mariana Trench Continental-Continental Convergence No subduction occurs here—both plates are too buoyant. Instead, they collide and crumple, forming large mountain ranges. 🏔️ Example: Himalayas ✅ Summary: Subduction = Yes → Oceanic-continental & oceanic-oceanic boundaries Subduction = No → Continental-continental boundaries #JAIDIXIT
