Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Convergent boundaries, where two plates are moving toward each other, are of three types, depending on the type of crust present on either side of the boundary-oceanic or continental . The types are ocean-ocean, ocean-continent, and continent-continent.
