GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Subduction Zone At subduction zones, a convergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates push together. When an ocean plate and a continental plate collide, the ocean plate slides under the continental plate, and bends downward.

Detailed explanation-3: -Subduction zones form where a plate with thinner (less-buoyant) oceanic crust descends beneath a plate with thicker (more-buoyant) continental crust.

Detailed explanation-4: -Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. Deep trenches are features often formed where tectonic plates are being subducted and earthquakes are common at subduction zones as well.
