A convergent boundary is a place where two plates collide, which can form earthquakes from the impact, and volcanoes. Mountains can also be formed by this process. The Himalayas were formed like this.

When a strike slip fault that forms the boundary between two plates called a convergent boundary?

No, a strike-slip fault forms at a transform boundary where two plates slide past each other horizontally. A convergent boundary is where two plates move towards each other, leading to subduction or collision.


The boundary formed between 2 plates that are colliding?

A convergent boundary is formed when two tectonic plates collide. This collision can result in one plate being forced beneath the other in a process called subduction, where the denser plate sinks into the mantle. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
