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.

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.

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.
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.

Define boundary conditions?

Define atomic radii?
The atomic radii is the measure of the size of the atoms in a chemical element. This is the distance from the nucleus to the boundary of the electrons' cloud.
