Convergent plates move toward one another
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoConvergent plates move towards each other, leading to a collision or subduction of the plates. This movement can result in the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
The three types of plate tectonic boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
Convergent and divergent boundaries are terms used in plate tectonics to describe the juncture at two plates and how they move in relation to each other. Divergent plates move apart and convergent move towards each other.
A divergent boundary does not occur at a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates move towards each other and usually result in the formation of mountains, ocean trenches, or volcanic activity. In contrast, divergent boundaries occur when plates move away from each other and create new oceanic crust.
The three main types of plate boundaries are convergent boundaries, where plates move toward each other, divergent boundaries, where plates move away from each other, and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
The three basic kinds of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates come together; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.

A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
They Move Towards Each Other because of the Plates.

Convergent Boundary.
This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.

When plates move together along a plate boundary, it is known as a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, one plate is typically forced beneath the other in a process called subduction, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity. These interactions are driven by the Earth's tectonic forces and can result in significant geological events such as earthquakes and tsunamis.
Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
