What does convergent bounderies mean?
Convergent boundaries are tectonic plate boundaries, where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
What is another name for subduction zones?
Convergent plate boundariesDestructive plate boundaries
How are the movement of plates at divergent boundaries and at the transform boundaries similar?
The difference between transform and divergent boundaries is that transform boundaries occur when tectonic plates slide past each other, whereas at divergent boundaries they move away from each other. However in both cases the plates move horizontally (unlike at convergent boundaries where one plate may be pushed underneath another).
Which type of plate boundaries produce volcanoes?
Continental and Oceanic plates.
What are the 4 plates in plate boundaries?
The Are Seven Primary Plates, so there cannot be only Five Boundaries, I know the tectonic Plates are The 1. African Plate 2. Antarctic Plate 3. Eurasian Plate 4. Indo-Australian Plate 5. North American Plate 6. Pacific Plate 7. South American Plate There Are Three Basic types of boundary; Divergent, Convergent and Transform boundaries Hopefull somebody can tell you all their names of the boundaires between them because these different Plates will me touching two or More Plates hence a lot of different boundaries
What is another name for destructive boundaries?
Convergent plate boundaries.

What type of mountain would you expect to find at a convergent boundary?
Convergent boundaries are where plates move into one another. When the Indian Plate collided with the harder Eurasian Plate the Indian Plate went underneath and raised up the Eurasian Plate to form the Himalayas.

Do convergent plates move away from each other?
they move against one another
Which type of plate boundaries produce volcanoes?
Continental and Oceanic plates.
What are the different boundaries and faults?
divergent-pullling apart convergent-pushing together transform-sliding past 1 another

What are Cracks in the earths crust called?
Divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries are all cracks in the Earth's crust. They are located where the Earth's plates border one another.
What property of the plates determines which play is subducted at a convergent boundary?
Subduction is the movement of one tectonic plate under another. The property of the plates that determines which plate is subducted at convergent boundaries is density.
Why do continent convergent boundaries produce very tall mountain range?
These form when continent lithosphere on one plate collides with another.
