Explanation:

Explanation: A convergent plate boundary is a location where two tectonic plates are moving  toward each other, often causing one plate to slide below the other (in a process known as  subduction). The collision of tectonic plates can result in earthquakes, volcanoes, the formation of  mountains, and other geological events
• When two tectonic plates move toward each other and collide, they form a convergent plate  boundary.
• There are three types of convergent plate boundaries: oceanic-oceanic boundaries, oceaniccontinental boundaries, and continental-continental boundaries. Each one is unique because of the  density of the plates involved.
• Convergent plate boundaries are often the sites of earthquakes, volcanoes, and other significant  geological activity. Earth's surface is made up of two types of lithospheric plates: continental and oceanic. The crust  that makes up continental plates is thicker yet less dense than oceanic crust because of the lighter  rocks and minerals that compose it. Oceanic plates are made up of heavier basalt, the result of  magma flows from mid ocean ridges. When plates converge, they do so in one of three settings:  oceanic plates collide with each other (forming oceanic-oceanic boundaries), oceanic plates collide with continental plates (forming oceanic continental boundaries), or continental plates collide with  each other (forming continental-continental boundaries). Earthquakes are common any time large slabs of Earth come into contact with each other, and  convergent boundaries are no exception. In fact, most of the Earth's most powerful quakes have  occurred at or near these boundaries.
1. Oceanic-Oceanic Boundaries: When two oceanic plates collide, the denser plate sinks below the  lighter plate and eventually forms dark, heavy, basaltic volcanic islands. The western half of the  Pacific Ring of Fire is full of these volcanic island arcs, including the Aleutian, Japanese, Ryukyu,  Philippine, Mariana, Solomon, and Tonga-Kermadec. The Caribbean and South Sandwich island  arcs are found in the Atlantic, while the Indonesian archipelago is a collection of volcanic arcs in the  Indian Ocean. When oceanic plates are sub ducted, they often bend, resulting in the formation of  oceanic trenches. These often run parallel to volcanic arcs and extend deep beneath the  surrounding terrain. The deepest oceanic trench, the Mariana Trench, is more than 35,000 feet  below sea level. It is the result of the Pacific Plate moving beneath the Mariana Plate.
2. Oceanic-Continental Boundaries: When oceanic and continental plates collide, the oceanic plate  undergoes subduction and volcanic arcs arise on land. These volcanoes release lava with chemical  traces of the continental crust they rise through. The Cascade Mountains of western North America  and the Andes of western South America feature such active volcanoes. So do Italy, Greece,  Kamchatka, and New Guinea. Oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, which means they  have a higher subduction potential. They are constantly being pulled into the mantle, where they are  melted and recycled into new magma. The oldest oceanic plates are also the coldest, as they have  moved away from heat sources such as divergent boundaries and hot spots. This makes them  denser and more likely to subduct.
3. Continental-Continental Boundaries: Continental-continental convergent boundaries pit large  slabs of crust against each other. This results in very little subduction, as most of the rock is too light  to be carried very far down into the dense mantle. Instead, the continental crust at these convergent  boundaries gets folded, faulted, and thickened, forming great mountain chains of uplifted rock. Magma cannot penetrate this thick crust; instead, it cools intrusively and forms granite. Highly  metamorphosed rock, like gneiss, is also common. The Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau, the  result of 50 million years of collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates, are the most  spectacular manifestation of this type of boundary. The jagged peaks of the Himalayas are the  highest in the world, with Mount Everest reaching 29,029 feet and more than 35 other mountains  exceeding 25,000 feet. The Tibetan Plateau, which encompasses approximately 1,000 square miles  of land north of the Himalayas, averages around 15,000 feet in elevation.
