Convergent plate boundaries are characteristic of B)collision zones between plates.
The place where the plate sinks is called the subduction zone. The type of convergence that occurs between the plates (sometimes called a very slow "collision") depends on the type of lithosphere involved.
The collision zone occurs when two continental plates move toward each other and collide. The land between the plates is forced upwards to form a fold. B. Alps and Himalayas.
The subduction zone is also created when two oceanic plates collide, pushing the old plate under the young plate to form a chain of volcanic islands known as island arcs.
