This convergence boundary is the result of two plates colliding. The oceanic plate gives way to the continental plate. The result is a submerged oceanic plate that sinks slowly, ultimately some of it breaking i
The three types of convergent plate boundaries are continental-continental, continental-oceanic, and oceanic-oceanic. At a continental-continental boundary, both plates are of equal density and so they push the lithosphere upward. At continental-oceanic or oceanic-oceanic boundaries, the plates are dif...
Convergent continental margin volcanic source for ash beds at the Permian-Triassic boundary, South China: Constraints from trace elements and Hf-isotopesVolcanic activity around the time of the Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB) has been proposed as a trigger for the associated biocrisis. Multiple ...
As the subducted plate at a convergent boundary returns to the Earth's mantle, heat is transferred upwards to the crust and can become a volcano. When this occurs under the ocean, an island arc like the Caribbean Islands develops. At oceanic-continental boundaries where the subduction occurs un...
Oceanic-Continental Convergence An oceanic-continental convergent boundary is characterized by the collision of a denser oceanic plate with a less dense continental plate. As anticipated, owing to its higher density, the oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate. Similar to oceanic-oceanic co...
Convergent Boundary Abstract In plate tectonic, convergent boundaries are characteristic of collision zones, where areas of continental and oceanic crust collide. These are zones of compression and crustal loss. The nature of a convergent boundary depends on the type of plates that are colliding, so...
Effects that are found at this type of plate boundary include: a zone of progressively deeper earthquakes; an oceanic trench; a chain of volcanic islands; the destruction of oceanic lithosphere.Convergent Plate Boundary - ContinentalThis is a difficult boundary to draw. First it is complex and se...
Recall that the basaltic ocean crust has a density of 3.0g/ cm3 , whereas continental crust averages a lighter 2.7 g/ cm3 [2]. As a result, there will be three types of convergent boundary: oceanic-continental boundary, continental-continental boundary, oceanic-oceanic boundary. Oceanic-...

The characteristics that describe convergent boundaries are that mountain ranges are typically found at this boundary, as well as powerful earthquakes from the plates colliding. What are examples of convergent boundaries? Some examples of convergent boundaries are: Subduction of the Nazca Plate u...
