Covergent Boundaries


The convergent boundaries is where plates crash together. For example, the Oceanic plates may collide with the Continental plate. The oceanic plates gets pushed down to the mantel. This process is know as subduction. The plate then enters a high temepeture envioroment when the plate reaches about 100miles, it begins to melt. The continental plate then creates a volcano. During this process, many earthquakes occur.
