A2. A Convergent Boundary is where two Tectonic Plates come together.
They are Destructive boundaries, for some of the plates are consumed. The Himalayas are an example where the plates converge, and build a mountain range between them. There still will be some subduction.
The Andes of S America are where the pacific Plate is being subducted beneath the S American Plate.
Convergent boundaries that produce maintains are called subduction zones.
Convergent boundary
In plate tectonics, when two tectonic plates move toward each other, it results in the formation of what is called a convergent plate boundary. The two plates are said to converge. One plate may be more dense than the other, and with the two plates pushing against each other, the plate that is more dense will "slide under" the other plate. The plate sliding under is said to subduct the other plate, and this creates what is called a subduction zone. Not all convergent plate boundaries have subduction zones, but all subduction zones are formed at convergent plate boundaries.
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
This forms on the plate tectonic boundaries.... particularly the convergent plate boundries.
Convergent Boundaries!
Convergent boundaries that produce maintains are called subduction zones.
At subduction zones along convergent plate boundaries.
Subduction zones are also known as convergent boundaries, there is no difference.
Convergent oceanic - continental and oceanic - oceanic boundaries.

The antonym for divergent boundary is convergent boundary. In a divergent boundary, tectonic plates move away from each other, while in a convergent boundary, they move towards each other. This can result in subduction zones, mountain formation, or continental collision.
