In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary also known as a destructive plate boundary (because of subduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.
What else can I help you with?
Do creationists believe in convergent evolution?
No. You can't define the evolution of a single species as convergent. Rather convergent evolution is a comparison of the evolution of two or more groups of organism, which independently evolve similar adaptations. The evolution of birds, bats, and pterosaurs is an example of convergent evolution: in all three groups the forelimbs developed into wings.

In your own words thoroughly define a Convergent Boundary?
A convergent boundary is a tectonic plate boundary where two plates move towards each other, leading to the collision and subsequent subduction of one plate beneath the other. This process often results in the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
Define and relate the following to the plate tectonics theory?
There are 2 tectonics theories namely: divergent boundary and subduction zone. The boundary of the plate tectonics where two plates are placed is called divergent boundary while the subduction zone is a convergent boundary where in one plate is subducted on another.
What are often used to define the edge or boundary of something?
Fences, walls, markers, or natural barriers such as rivers or mountains are often used to define the edge or boundary of something.
Explain why there is no clearly define boundary between the Pacific plate and the North American plate?
There is a clearly defined boundary. Part of that boundary is called the San Andreas Fault.
What is a cultural boundary and or define?
two countries separated by their culture (e.x. language)
Define boundary conditions?
The set of conditions specified for the behavior of the solution to a set of differential equations at the boundary of its domain. Boundary conditions are important in determining the mathematical solutions to many physical problems.
What is a nutural boundary?
A natural boundary is a physical boundary that is formed by geographic features such as mountains, rivers, or oceans. These boundaries are created by natural elements and can help define borders between regions or countries.
Why were romanesque churches portal of special?
To define the boundary between secular and sacred space
What does antecedent boundary mean?
Antecedent boundary refers to the limit or extent of information preceding a specific point in a text or conversation. It helps define the context for understanding references made within that particular boundary.
