The term "convergent" comes from the Latin word "convergere," which means "to incline together." It is used in various fields, such as mathematics, Biology, and technology, to describe processes or phenomena where different entities or ideas come together to a common point or result. In biology, for example, convergent evolution refers to the process where unrelated species develop similar traits due to adapting to similar environments.
At convergent boundaries plates come together. In other words, they converge.
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
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).
They form on convergent boundaries.
Plates that come together are called convergent plates. At convergent boundaries, these tectonic plates move toward each other, often resulting in geological phenomena such as earthquakes, mountain formation, and volcanic activity. The interaction can involve one plate being forced beneath another in a process known as subduction.
At convergent boundaries plates come together. In other words, they converge.

The plates come together
It is called a "convergent boundary".
they move against one another
The type of rays that come together are called convergent rays.
Two paths which are convergent will come together in the distance. Two paths which are divergent will get further and further apart in the distance.
When two plates come together it's known as the Convergent Boundry
The word 'convergent' is an adjective, used to describe a noun as tending to come together from different directions.Examples:The partners built a successful business on their convergent ideas.Groups of convergent mountains form the Appalachian Range.
A convergent boundary is the place where two plates come together.Convergent boundary
When two continental plates come together, they can form convergent boundaries where one plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity as the plates interact and collide.
