Tectonic plates are separated by "faults," places where the structure of the Earth is cracked. Most earthquakes occur along fault lines.
It is called a "convergent boundary".
Tectonic plates are separated by "faults," places where the structure of the Earth is cracked. Most earthquakes occur along fault lines.
Tectonic plates come together at convergent boundaries. Some examples include the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate along the west coast of the United States, where the plates are converging and creating the Cascade Range of mountains. Another example is the boundary between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, where the plates are colliding and creating the Himalayas.
When two continental plates come together, they can form convergent boundaries where one plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity as the plates interact and collide.
When oceanic plates come together, they create a subduction zone where one plate is forced beneath the other. This process forms deep ocean trenches and can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and islands.
The place where tectonic plates come together is named an Destructive Boundary
When two plates come together it's known as the Convergent Boundry

Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.

The place where tectonic plates meet is called a plate boundary. These boundaries can be categorized as convergent, divergent, or transform, depending on how the plates are interacting with each other.
Plates that come together are called convergent plates. At convergent boundaries, these tectonic plates move toward each other, often resulting in geological phenomena such as earthquakes, mountain formation, and volcanic activity. The interaction can involve one plate being forced beneath another in a process known as subduction.
Where two or more plates meet or come together is called a plate boundary. These plate boundaries can be either convergent (moving towards each other), divergent (moving apart), or transform (sliding past each other).
At convergent boundaries plates come together. In other words, they converge.
