Because one is a bird and one is a moth, they don't have a common ancestor (at least not for a VERY long time). However, they have evolved to eat the same food: nectar. Hummingbirds are chiefly diurnal, meaning they are active during the day. This leaves the niche of feeding at flowers open at night. The hummingbird moth has developed adaptations to feed on nectar much like the hummingbird has: the ability to hover and collect nectar using a long proboscus. So if you imagine them on an evolutionary tree, they are coming from vastly different ancestral backgrounds. However, they have evolved very similar strategies for collecting their food. That's convergent evolution.
Unrelated species developing similar traits in different parts of the world demonstrate convergent evolution. This phenomenon occurs when different species adapt to similar environmental pressures, resulting in analogous traits evolving independently. Convergent evolution highlights the power of natural selection in shaping organisms to fit specific niches.
At convergent boundaries plates come together. In other words, they converge.
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
They form on convergent boundaries.
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
No. Both are birds and their wings are a derived trait common to all birds. The wings of penguins and bats display convergent evolution.

Animals exhibit similarities in appearance and characteristics due to shared evolutionary history and adaptation to similar environments. This is known as convergent evolution, where unrelated species develop similar traits to survive in their surroundings.
There are 3 types of Convergent boundaries, they are; 1. Continental-continental convergent boundary. 2. Continental-oceanic convergent boundary. 3. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary.
The process that produces a similar appearance among unrelated groups of organisms is called convergent evolution. This occurs when different species independently evolve similar traits or characteristics in response to similar environmental pressures or ecological niches. Despite not sharing a common ancestor, these unrelated species develop analogous features to adapt to their surroundings.

Convergent.
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.
