What Is A Convergent Boundary
A convergent boundary is when one tectonic plate collides with another and is forced down into the mantle. Another term used for this kind of boundary is called the subduction zone where the oceanic plate is forced back into the earths mantle when it collides with the continental plate. The world is constantly in motion though most of the time this motion is so small we can not even notice it.
What are some of the events that occur at these convergent boundaries, the oceanic rock is forced into the mantel melting and forming hot molten magma. This magma then rises to the surface and forms the volcanic chains that you see along these convergent boundaries. A great way to learn more about these boundaries is to check out some books on plate tectonics theory. Thanks moorescience
