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.

HELP PLS ASAP! age of continental and oceanic plates...
saul85 [17]
The Earth's rocky outer crust solidified billions of years ago, soon after the Earth formed. This crust is not a solid shell; it is broken up into huge, thick plates that drift atop the soft, underlying mantle.

The plates are made of rock and drift all over the globe; they move both horizontally (sideways) and vertically (up and down). Over long periods of time, the plates also change in size as their margins are added to, crushed together, or pushed back into the Earth's mantle. These plates are from 50 to 250 miles (80 to 400 km) thick.

Earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the edges of the plates. ... When plates move apart, they produce new ocean floor as magma from the mantle rises up through volcanoes and deposits new rock along the plate boundaries. In some areas plates slide alongside each other, neither creating nor destroying land.
