GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Convergent boundaries–where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.

Detailed explanation-3: -Convergent Plate Boundary: A convergent plate boundary is when two tectonic plates push together, causing the crust to be destroyed or pushed down into the Earth’s mantle. This produces earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transform plate boundaries are different from the other two types of plate boundaries. At divergent plate boundaries, new oceanic crust is formed. At convergent boundaries, old oceanic crust is destroyed. But at transform plate boundaries, crust is neither created nor destroyed.
