Convergent Plate Boundaries in continental and oceanic lithosphere - by Geology.com ... Convergent plate boundaries are locations where lithospheric plates are moving towards one another. The plate collisions that occur in these areas can produce earthquakes, volcanic activity and crustal deformation.

Convergent Boundaries; Places where plates crash or crunch together are called convergent boundaries. Plates only move a few centimeters each year, so collisions are very slow and last millions of years. Even though plate collisions take a long time, lots of interesting things happen.

Convergent plate boundaries come in several flavors, but they share one thing in common - plate collisions! Take a look at the differences between the three examples on this page. ... This type of convergent plate boundary, called a subduction zone, is known for producing historic earthquakes of great magnitudes.

The boundary where the two plates meet is called a convergent boundary. Deep trenches appear at these boundaries, caused by the oceanic plate bending downward into the Earth.

Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. ... Such destruction (recycling) of crust takes place along convergent boundaries where plates are moving toward each other, and sometimes one plate sinks (is subducted) under another. The location where sinking of a plate occurs is called...
