What is an example of a convergent plate?
an example of a convergent plate/boundary are mountain ranges
Is a mountain a example of a convergent boundary?
A mountain is an example of a possible result of converging plate boundaries. An actual example of a converging plate boundary would be the Indian-Eurasian Plate Boundarywhich is creating the Himalayan Mountain Range. Other convergent plates can create trenches such as the Mariana Trench, which is the lowest place on the surface of the Earth.
A location on Earth where each type of plate boundary is present?
There are three types of convergent boundaries: oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental. An example of continental-continental is the San Andreas Fault in California. An example of oceanic-continental is the Peru-Chile Trench. An example of oceanic-oceanic is almost anywhere in the ocean. Because the tectonic plates are continuously moving, although they may be moving slowly, new boundaries are formed often. Thus, oceanic-oceanic boundaries are constantly forming. A specific example would be in the western Pacific Ocean. There is a tangle of arcs in the Indian Ocean; there's also the Caribbean and South Sandwich Island arcs.
The movement of one tectonic plate under another tectonic plate?
The movement of one tectonic plate under another occurs at convergent boundaries. For example, at this boundary denser oceanic crust slides under the lighter continental crust.
What type of plate movement causes tsunami's?
convergence plate boundary, where tectonic plates move towards each other and collide, leading to subduction zones which are highly constructive regions of volcanoes. Volcanoes also form at divergent plate boundaries. A good example being the numerous Icelandic volcanoes which have formed over he Mid Atlantic Ridge.
What is an example of convergent boundaries?
An example of convergent plate boundaries on earth is the Himalayas. :)

Is volcano an example of divergent convergent or transform?
A volcano itself is not an example of a plate boundary. They are found at divergent and convergent boundaries.
Which type of plate boundaries produce volcanoes?
Continental and Oceanic plates.
Where can you find a Convergent Boundary?
The Solomon Islands are an example of a Convergent Boundary.
What is magmatism?
The formation of igneous rock from magma For example the formation of volcanoes or island arcs at convergent plate boundaries. Or mid-ocean ridges and therefore ocean-floor spreading at divergent plate boundaries.

Example of convergent question?
An example of a convergent question is 'How do apples differ from oranges?'
Is a mountain a example of a convergent boundary?

Other convergent plates can create trenches such as the Mariana Trench, which is the lowest place on the surface of the Earth.
Are hot spots near plate boundaries?
No, Hot Spots can be in the center of plates. An example of a Hot Spot is the Hawaiian Islands.
List three types of plate boundaries that exist at the edges of the plates?
There are three main types: Convergent boundaries (where two plates are being pushed together) Divergent boundaries (where two plates are being pulled apart) Transform boundaries (where two plates are sliding past each other).
