Subduction occurs, as one plate collides with another, the harder plate may force the other plate downwards and into the mantle. For example, when the Indian Plate collided with the Asian Plate, the harder Asian Plate forced the Indian into subduction. This forced the Asian Plate to be raised and the Himalayas were the result.

Does sea floor spreading occur at a convergent boundary?
No. Seafloor spreading occurs at a divergent boundary.
What type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move towards each other?
This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
