LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -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. A chain of volcanoes often forms parallel to convergent plate boundaries and powerful earthquakes are common along these boundaries.

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. Deep trenches are features often formed where tectonic plates are being subducted and earthquakes are common at subduction zones as well.

Detailed explanation-3: -About 80% of earthquakes occur where plates are pushed together, called convergent boundaries.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metamorphic rocks formed when rocks are buried to depths with high temperature and pressure are found where rocks are squeezed and crumpled into mountains—that is, at convergent plate boundaries.
