Converging plate boundaries, also known as convergent boundaries, occur where two tectonic plates move toward each other. This interaction can lead to the subduction of one plate beneath another, resulting in geological features such as mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity. The intense pressure and friction at these boundaries can also cause earthquakes. Examples include the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
