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.
Detailed explanation-3: -(ii) Convergent boundary : Boundary where plates collide with each other, causing one plate slide below the other plate.
Detailed explanation-4: -Convergent boundary movement is divided into two types, subduction and collision, depending on the density of the involved plates.
