What are somethings that convergent boundaries can create on the earth's surface?
Convergent plate boundaries are also know as destructive plate boundaries because of subduction. They are actively deforming regions where two or more tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide and form either a subduction zone or a continental collision. They form volcanoes like Mt. St. Helens, chains of volcanoes like the Pacific Ring of Fire, mountain ranges like the Cascade Mountains, and island arc with a deep oceanic trench in front like the Marina trench near the Marina Islands. The Himalayan Mountains, Southern Alps in New Zealand, Aleutian Islands, Andes Mountains, Pontic mountains in Turkey, etc. have been formed by convergent plate boundaries.
