Convergent boundaries can form between two oceanic plates, between one oceanic plate and one continental plate, or between two continental plates.
The plate boundary is continental - continental. This creates mountains and earthquakes, but one plate doesn't go under the other
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).
Convergent Boundary (Subduction Zone)
a subduction zone forms
Convergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates hit each other. This can cause earthquakes, but can also create mountains.

Convergent Boundary (Subduction Zone)
The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.
This type of plate boundary is called a convergent boundary or subduction zone. It occurs when two tectonic plates collide, with the denser oceanic plate being forced beneath the less dense continental plate. This process can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs on the overriding plate.
A convergent boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate. This process, known as subduction, can result in the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.
Mt. Fuji is located in Japan. It is near a continental convergent boundary, a continental transform boundary, and an oceanic transform boundary.
