Fault line
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).
No,plate margin&plate boundary are not same.plate boundaries are definite regions where tectonic occurs,while margins are surface lines.
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
The Himalaya mountains were formed in a collision of the Indian Plate pushing into the Eurasian Plate, in a convergent boundary known as a continental collision.
The Baltic Sea is surrounded by several different types of plate boundaries. To the north, there is a passive continental margin where the Eurasian Plate borders the Arctic Plate. To the south, the border is a convergent plate boundary where the Eurasian Plate meets the North American Plate. This boundary has created the uplifted landmasses of Sweden and Finland.

The east coast of South America along the Atlantic Ocean is a passive continental margin. This means that it is not located along a tectonic plate boundary where significant tectonic activity such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions occur. The passive margin formed when South America separated from Africa during the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean.
it is on a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone

1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
A passive continental margin is not tectonically active, meaning it does not experience significant geological activity like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. In contrast, an active continental margin is located near a tectonic plate boundary, leading to geological activity such as subduction zones, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.
The Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau are formed by a continental-continental boundary where the Indian continental plate is moving north against the Eurasian continental plate.
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
Destructive(collisional) plate margin/boundary
Mt. Fuji is located in Japan. It is near a continental convergent boundary, a continental transform boundary, and an oceanic transform boundary.
The Himalaya mountains were formed in a collision of the Indian Plate pushing into the Eurasian Plate, in a convergent boundary known as a continental collision.
