At a convergent boundary, two tectonic plates collide, typically involving either oceanic crust, continental crust, or a combination of both. Oceanic crust is usually subducted beneath continental crust due to its higher density, leading to the formation of trenches and volcanic arcs. In cases where two continental plates converge, they can create mountain ranges through a process called orogeny, as neither plate is easily subducted.
Convergent boundary.
Convergent boundary.
Yes. It is a convergent boundary where both masses consist of continental crust.
A convergent boundary is formed when two crustal lithospheric plates collide. This collision can result in the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic arcs. The type of convergent boundary that forms depends on the type of crust involved in the collision (oceanic or continental).
An anticline typically forms at convergent plate boundaries where compression forces cause the Earth's crust to fold upwards. This type of folding is common in areas where two tectonic plates collide and the crust is pushed together.
The two types of Crust is the Continental Crust and the Oceanic Crust.

A convergent plate boundary where one plate subducts beneath another destroys crust. This process occurs at subduction zones, where the denser plate is forced beneath the less dense plate, leading to the destruction of crust as it is consumed in the Earth's mantle.
The type of boundary that forms when the crust of one plate is pushed down under another plate and turned into molten rock is referred to as a convergent boundary. Convergent boundaries form when oceanic crust slides beneath continental crust.
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.

They form on convergent boundaries.
The Mariana Trench is a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding and one plate is forced beneath the other.
