A. Metamorphic rocks - Metamorphism
B. Igneous rocks - Subduction
C. Sedimentary rocks - Sedimentation
Metamorphic rocks: intense pressure
Igneous rocks: convergent plate boundaries
Sedimentary rocks: heat and pressure

∙ 9y agoA simple convergent boundary may, through folding, burial, and exhumation lead to metamorphic changes in the rock. (e.g. the Himalayas) But at the end of that metamorphosis, the rock type will not be hugely altered - a sediment may be turned into a schist, or a carbonate turned into a marble.
At a subducting boundary, (e.g the Andes, or New Zealand) the subducting material may be drawn sufficiently deep as to alter it by melting. Completely new rocks may be formed, and depending on the duration and grade of the cooling, a new assembly of minerals will be formed. Granite, would be an example of very slow cooling. Naturally the depth of burial is as important as is the temperature.

What processes found at convergent boundary will help form the following rocks?
The processes found at convergent boundary that help in the formation of rocks are subduction zones. Igneous rocks form around convergent boundaries.
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge
What plate boundary is in the Himalayan mountains?
The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.
What boundary can a trench be found?
The boundary where a trench can be found is called a convergent plate boundary. It can also be termed a destructive plate boundary in plate tectonics.
What type of boundary is compression stress found at?
Convergent boundaries.
What processes found at convergent boundary will help form the following rocks?

What processes found at a convergent boundary will help form a sedimentary rock?
weathering sorry thats all i know
What kind of boundary is found where mountain ranges are created?
Convergent Boundary!
Is a composite volcano on a divergent boundary or convergent boundary?
They can be associated with both, but are most often found near convergent boundaries.
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge

If an anticline appears what type of plate boundary could it be found in?
Convergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary is compression stress found at?
Convergent boundaries.
What type of plate boundary is regional metamorphism found?
convergent
What type of volcano is found along convergent boundary?
Composite cone
What features can be found along convergent boundaries?
Generally (I think probably always), a mountain range develops at a convergent boundary.
