EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary. The impact of the colliding plates can cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle up into a mountain ranges or one of the plates may bend down into a deep seafloor trench.

Detailed explanation-2: -Convergent (Colliding): This occurs when plates move towards each other and collide. When a continental plate meets an oceanic plate, the thinner, denser, and more flexible oceanic plate sinks beneath the thicker, more rigid continental plate. This is called subduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -At convergent boundaries, plates move toward each other. They can push together and cause mountain ranges to form. At other times, one plate gets pushed down beneath the other plate. This can cause volcanoes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The classic example is the collision between the Indian plate and the Asia plate. The result is the Himalayan mountains. When two ocean plates meet a deep ocean trench results and parts of both plates are destroyed. Arcs of Ocean islands (often volcanic) are created by the collision.
