This is a convergent plate boundary, the plates move towards each other. The amount of crust on the surface of the earth remains relatively constant. Therefore, when plates diverge (separate) and form new crust in one area, the plates must converge (come together) in another area and be destroyed. An example of this is the Nazca plate being subducted under the South American plate to form the Andes Mountain Chain. got this from:http://www.moorlandschool.co.uk/earth/tectonic.htm

What are the examples of divergent boundary?
Examples of a divergent boundary would be a mid-ocean ridge. Two plates are pulling apart from each other. If you have heard before, the magma from the asthenosphere find a way to get out through the crack of the diverging plates and makes new land. Another type of devergent boundary would be a fissure. It is a long linear crack made by the plates moving apart. I think maybe another one would probably be a volcano, but I am not sure.
What type of plate boundary is when one sinks beneath another?
A convergent plate boundary is where one of the plates is sinking beneath another, and the other one is being pushed on top of the subducting plate. This is called a subduction zone. This happens when denser, heavier oceanic crust meets less dense, thicker, continental crust.When two plates converge, and one is less dense, that plate goes under the more dense plate into the mantle, this is called subduction.subduction will happen and a volcano will be formed. when one plate slides beneath another one magma from earths mantle is being pushed up on earths surface.

What is it call when plates come together?
It is called a "convergent boundary".
At which type of boundary do plates move apart?
divergent transform, or convergent
What is the type of boundary where two plates move together causing one of the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath an overriding plate?
Subduction
What type of boundary occurs where two plates move together causing one plate to descend into the mantle of the other plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.
What type of motion occurred between the two plates?
A convergent boundary can form between two plates and a divergent boundary can be created between two plates, then two plates rubbing together create earthquakes, many are very minor. A convergent boundary is two plates pushing together to form a mountain, hill, or volcano. Divergent plates move apart and create canyons and stuff.
What type of boundary below occurs where two plates move together causing one plate to descend into the mantle beneath the other plate?
A subduction boundary occurs where two plates move together, with one plate being forced beneath the other into the mantle. This process can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
What is the type of plate boundary where two plates move together causing one of the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath overriding plate?
Subduction
What type of fault was the Great Chilean Earthquake on?
The plate boundary the Chile earthquake occurred on in 2010 was the converging boundary. A converging boundary is when two plates move closer together. In this case the converging boundary moved so close together that the plates hut one another. They then subducted under on another and the earthquake was formed.
