One theory states that upon convergence of continental plates one will dive below the other, or subduct. This process, however is physically impossible since oceanic crusts that are many miles thick cannot dive down below continental, granitic rock that is much more dense. If anything, the oceanic crust must move onto the top of the continental plates. A more reasonable theory that has emerged lately is that the earth grows and all tectonic plates are expanding and constantly moving away from each other.
Convergence is the term used to describe the medial movement of the eyes when focusing on close objects. This movement helps both eyes focus on the same point and maintain single binocular vision.
The medial rectus muscles are primarily responsible for the convergence reflex. When focusing on a near object, these muscles contract to rotate both eyes inward, allowing them to converge and maintain single binocular vision.
Cultural convergence occurs more rapidly with the widespread adoption of technology and social media platforms that facilitate global communication and information sharing. These platforms enable ideas, values, and practices to spread quickly across different cultures and lead to the blending of traditions and customs.
Continental Drift is the name of a theory, developed by German meteorologist and geologist Alfred Wegener (1880-1930), asserting that parts of the earth's crust are slowly drifting on top of a liquid core. Wegener hypothesized that 200 million years ago, the earth was comprised of one great supercontinent, containing all of earth's land masses. He called the supercontinent "Pangaea," which means "all the land" in Greek. According to Wegener, Pangaea broke apart during the period bounded by the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, to the point where the super land mass was finally separated into the distinct land masses we now recognize as modern-day continents. Wegener's theory of continental drift is published in his 1915 work entitled, "On the Origin of the Continents and Oceans."
The presence of shared genes and biochemical pathways among eukaryotes, archaea, and bacteria supports the idea of eukaryotes at the convergence of the ring of life. Additionally, the endosymbiotic theory, which proposes that eukaryotic organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free-living prokaryotes, is also evidence for this positioning. Lastly, genetic analyses have shown that eukaryotes share genetic similarities with both archaea and bacteria, further suggesting their position at the center of evolutionary relationships.
The Himalayas are formed from a continental to continental plate convergence.

An example of a continental-continental plate convergence is the collision boundary between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate that formed the Himalayas. The convergence between these two plates has led to the uplift of the Himalayan mountain range over millions of years due to the ongoing collision between the two continental plates.
Some examples of mountain ranges created by continental-continental convergence are the Himalayas (resulting from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates) and the Alps (formed by the collision of African and Eurasian plates).

Convergence can occur between oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental plates. This process typically leads to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic arcs.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge was not the result of continental convergence. Instead, it is a divergent boundary where new oceanic crust is forming as tectonic plates move apart.
