How do plates move along a convergent boundary?

Answer 1

They grind together by sliding against each other going side-to-side and produce a lot of shallow earth quakes from that. The most famous example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas fault where the Pacific plate meets the North American plate.

Answer 2

A convergent boundary is one where two plates are grinding into each other, so the plates are moving toward each other. If one plate more dense than the other, (say a continent and an oceanic plate collide) then the denser plate (the oceanic plate) may be subducted. If two plates of similar or the same density collide, then neither plate will subduct, and crustal thickening may occur. This is the process which formed the Himalayas, resulting from the pressure of two continental plates, the Indian and the Asian.

Answer 3

Plate boundaries move in three ways:

Transverse- when the plates slide past one another. A famous example is the San Andreas fault, which is located in California and is a major plate boundary.

Converging- when the plates push against each other. Most mountains are made this way.

Diverging- when plates are spreading apart. This is the process that create new sea floor.

Answer 4

At a convergent boundary, where tectonic plates are moving towards each other, the denser plate will subduct beneath the less dense plate. This subduction causes the plates to move along the boundary, creating features such as deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. The movement is driven by the forces of gravity and pressure within the Earth's mantle.

Answer 5

they move the opposite side like on goes up and one goes down (Left & right)

Answer 6

they slide oposite ways; one goes right and one goes left

Answer 7

they slide against each other going side-to-side.
