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.
Convergent boundary.
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.
The Mariana Trench is a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding and one plate is forced beneath the other.
Oceanic-continental convergent boundary: Where oceanic plates subduct beneath continental plates, creating deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs on the overriding plate. Continental-continental convergent boundary: Where two continental plates collide, causing intense folding and faulting to create mountain ranges. An example is the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate, forming the Himalayas.
At a convergent boundary, plates move towards each other.

A Transform Fault ZoneIn the textbook Earth Science and the Environment (4th Edition) by Thompson and Turk. Located on page 163, it shows that Tonga has a Convergent Boundary. A convergent boundary is where two lithospheic plates collide head on.
A rift valley forms at a convergent boundary.

Yes. Tambora is located where the Indian-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate collide. When two plates collide, it forms a convergent boundary.
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.
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.
at an oceanic to continental convergent boundary trenches and volcanic mountains can form. at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary trenches and volcanic islands can form. at a continental to continental convergent boundary fold mountains can form
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.
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.
