A convergent boundary is a tectonic boundary where two lithospheric plates are moving towards each other. When they collide, one plate is typically forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
In true solution the molecules of the solute get equally distributed throughout the solvent in the atomic level i.e. at the distance of diameter of an atom. While in colloides the molecules are not mixed in such state. So, using this as a principal to distinguish between colloide & solution. We can centrifuge the two mixtures to distinguish the colooide & solution.
take a cardboard box and draw 2 holes each on opposite sides.now take some water in a transparent jar and add sodium chloride to it now keep the solution in the box .now take a laser light,switch it on and through the hole throw the light inside .you will see that the light will not scatter.now take some water in another jar or half cut plastic bottle and add chalk powder to it.put the solution in the box and again throw light towards it .you will observe that the light scatters as water is a colloide
