It depends on which plate tectonics you are talking about. Each plate has its specific direction of movement. All plate tectonics move in different directions.

In which direction do plates travel at a convergent boundary?

At a convergent boundary, plates move towards each other.


Are subducting plate boundaries the same as convergent plate boundaries?

Yes, subducting plate boundaries are a type of convergent plate boundary where one tectonic plate moves under another plate. Convergent plate boundaries, in general, are locations where two tectonic plates move towards each other. Subduction is a specific mechanism of convergence.


What direction do plate tectonics move in?

They don't move in a specific direction. Every plate moves in it's own direction and sometimes they can change directions.


What will occur at a convergent plate boundary?

as the plates move towards each other the denser plate subducts into the asthenphere


What are the 3 types of plate boundarys?

divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.


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.

What are the three plate movements?

The three main types of plate movements are convergent, where plates move towards each other; divergent, where plates move away from each other; and transform, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
