What happens at a convergent tectonic plate boundary?

Answer 1

An ocean trench forms

Two tectonic plates push against each other. The denser/heavier plate is pushed down under the other plate which is in turn pushed up to create mountains.

Answer 2

Plates move together at convergent plate boundaries and lithosphere is destroyed. There is a compressional stress on the undeformed rocks which causes the crust to shorten. Reverse faults (the hanging wall moves up) occur at convergent plate boundaries. Different types of convergent plate boundaries include: oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, continental-continental. In oceanic-oceanic an oceanic trench forms because the oceanic crusts subducts. The oceanic crust, because of its higher density, also subducts in oceanic-continental convergent plate boundaries, which are the most common. In the last case, continental-continental- two continents collide. This occurrence explains the creation of the Himalayas- India and Asia collided.

Answer 3

Convergent plates are two tectonic plates that are colliding as they move toward each other. There are several types of converging plate boundaries.

Oceanic to oceanic plate convergence:

Where an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate, the more dense plate subducts into the mantle. The subduction results in the partial melting of lithospheric rock above the area of the subduction, causing underwater volcanoes to form. If the volcanoes grow to reach the surface, volcanic arc islands are formed. Oceanic to continental plate convergence:

Where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the oceanic plate is subducted due to the fact that it is more dense, which can also cause volcanism and mountain building. Continental to continental plate convergence:

Where two continental plates collide, neither subducts into the mantle, the crust is thickened, and mountain ranges are formed from the thickening and uplift.

Answer 4

At a convergent tectonic plate boundary, two plates move towards each other. The denser oceanic plate usually subducts beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. This collision can result in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the creation of mountain ranges.
