Convergent Boundaries in Earth Science

Convergent plate boundaries occur where tectonic plates move towards one another. There are three main types: 1) Oceanic-oceanic, where two oceanic plates collide and one subducts under the other, forming ocean trenches. 2) Oceanic-continental, where an oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate, pushing up mountains. 3) Continental-continental, where collision resists subduction and the plates break and fold, forming mountains. - Download as a PPT, PDF or view online for free
