Convergent plate boundaries
What else can I help you with?
What is the location of the volcanic belts?
along colliding and subducting plate margins
What are the Continental coastlines occurring within the interior of a tectonic plate called?
Intraplate coastlines or passive margins are continental coastlines that occur within the interior of a tectonic plate, away from active plate boundaries. These areas are characterized by lower tectonic activity and less frequent geological events compared to coastlines near plate boundaries.
Why do volcanoes occur at conservative plate margins?
after earth
What processes can be observed at the margins of lithospheric plates?
At plate margins, processes such as subduction, where one plate is forced beneath another, occur. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches. Additionally, plate margins can be locations of volcanic activity and earthquakes due to the movement and interaction of the plates.
Is a plate margin and a plate boundary the same?
No,plate margin&plate boundary are not same.plate boundaries are definite regions where tectonic occurs,while margins are surface lines.
What is a tectonic plate that moves together to cause destructive or compressional plate margins?
convergent
What is the definition of plate margin?
A plate margin is the boundary where two tectonic plates meet. These margins can be divergent (moving apart), convergent (moving together), or transform (moving past each other).Plate margins are dynamic areas where geological activities like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions often occur.

What events occur at plate margins?
earthquake, volcano

Are the edges of the continent are the same as boundaries of plates?
No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.

What is happening at a convergent plate boundary?
what is happening at a convergent plate boundary is the two plates are coming together and forming mountains.
Where in the earth do the most Earthquakes occur?
on the tectonic plate margins.
