A convergent boundary with no subduction is a continental-continental boundary. Because oceanic crust is denser than continental crust, it is always the subducting plate in a oceanic-continental boundary. In an oceanic-oceanic boundary, one of the plates will subduct, depending on several factors. Continental plates are thicker and less dense than oceanic plates, and when they converge, they push up the area where the plates meet, forming mountain ranges (note that this is not the only, or even the predominant, method of mountain formation). The Himalayas are being formed as a result of a continental-continental boundary.

Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
What type tectonic plate boundary forms the Mariana trench?
A Transform Fault ZoneIn the textbook Earth Science and the Environment (4th Edition) by Thompson and Turk. Located on page 163, it shows that Tonga has a Convergent Boundary. A convergent boundary is where two lithospheic plates collide head on.
What is the plate boundary for unzen?
The plate boundary for Unzen volcano is the subduction zone where the Philippine Sea Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction zone is part of the larger convergent boundary between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
Is Krakatoa a divergent convergent or transform boundary?
Krakatoa is located at a convergent boundary, where the Indo-Australian Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction zone can lead to intense volcanic activity due to the melting and rising of magma from the subducted plate.
Which convergent plate boundary does not include a subduction zone?

Is a subduction zone a type of convergent boundary?
Yes, a subduction zone is a type of convergent boundary where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate.

Which type of boundary interactions does a dive into the mantle entail?
This occurs at a convergent plate boundary and is known as subduction.
What type of boundary is paricutin on divergent or convergent?
Paricutin is located on a convergent boundary. The volcano formed as a result of the subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the North American Plate in Mexico.
Convergent boundaries that produce maintains boundary produces?
Convergent boundaries that produce maintains are called subduction zones.
What type of plate boundary is Mt Saint Helens on?
A convergent I believe with subduction.
