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.
Convergent boundary.
This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
A reverse fault generally occurs at a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide and one is forced over the other, causing compression and uplift of the Earth's crust.
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.
A convergent plate boundary occurs between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the formation of the Andes mountain range.

A reverse fault
This occurs at a convergent plate boundary and is known as subduction.
Convergent boundary.
There are 3 types of Convergent boundaries, they are; 1. Continental-continental convergent boundary. 2. Continental-oceanic convergent boundary. 3. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary.
This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
Convergent boundary, which in this case would lead to mountain building (as in the Himalayas)
A reverse fault generally occurs at a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide and one is forced over the other, causing compression and uplift of the Earth's crust.
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.
A convergent plate boundary occurs between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the formation of the Andes mountain range.
All three! Convergent, divergent, and transform.
