Convergent Boundary is one of the three different kinds of plates that cause earthquakes. The Convergent Boundary is the coming together of plates while Divergent Boundaries are the pulling apart of plates.

Explain what is happening at a convergent plate boundary?

At a convergent plate boundary, two tectonic plates are moving towards each other. As the plates collide, one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.

Are subducting plate boundaries the same as convergent plate boundaries?

Yes, subducting plate boundaries are a type of convergent plate boundary where one tectonic plate moves under another plate. Convergent plate boundaries, in general, are locations where two tectonic plates move towards each other. Subduction is a specific mechanism of convergence.
