Explanation:
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: -Convergent Boundaries: When Two Plates Move toward Each Other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Divergent boundaries are where plates are moving apart. The result is either a midocean ridge (eg., Mid Atlantic Ridge) or a continental rift zone (eg., East African Rift). Normal faults form in divergent zones. Convergent boundaries are where plates are moving toward one another.
