Colliding plate boundaries, known as convergent boundaries, occur where two tectonic plates move toward each other. This interaction often leads to one plate being forced beneath the other in a process called subduction, resulting in geological features like mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic arcs. These boundaries are associated with intense seismic activity, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, due to the immense pressures involved. Examples include the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate, forming the Himalayas.
The boundary that is formed is called a Tranform Boundary
The plate boundary at which plates collide or come together is called a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, one plate is typically forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This collision can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
Oceanic-continental plate boundary: where an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, causing the oceanic plate to subduct beneath the continental plate. Oceanic-oceanic plate boundary: occurs when two oceanic plates collide, with one plate usually subducting beneath the other. Continental-continental plate boundary: where two continental plates collide, leading to the formation of mountain ranges through intense compression and uplifting of the crust.
A convergent boundary is formed when plates collide. At this type of boundary, the denser plate sinks beneath the less dense plate in a process known as subduction. This collision often results in the formation of mountain ranges, volcanoes, and deep ocean trenches.
Convergent boundary

Yes. Tambora is located where the Indian-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate collide. When two plates collide, it forms a convergent boundary.
A destructive plate boundary.
A convergent boundary is where two plates collide. This can lead to the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
A boundary where two plates meet and collide forming mountains is called a convergent boundary. It is also known as destructive plate boundary.
Oceanic-continental plate boundary: where an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, causing the oceanic plate to subduct beneath the continental plate. Oceanic-oceanic plate boundary: occurs when two oceanic plates collide, with one plate usually subducting beneath the other. Continental-continental plate boundary: where two continental plates collide, leading to the formation of mountain ranges through intense compression and uplifting of the crust.
A convergent boundary is formed when plates collide. At this type of boundary, the denser plate sinks beneath the less dense plate in a process known as subduction. This collision often results in the formation of mountain ranges, volcanoes, and deep ocean trenches.
When plate bondaries collide they make a mountain,because of the force.
Convergent boundary
Converging (destructive) plate boundary: where two plates collide. Diverging (constructive) plate boundary: where two plates move away from each other. Transform plate boundary: where two plates move, or grind, past each other. Like the boundary in California.
