Question

What force is present at a convergent boundary?

Answer 1

Divergent boundaries are formed when plates are pulling apart; this kind of force is called tension. The opposite boundary is a convergent boundary, where two plates collide; this happens near subduction zones. The force present in a transform boundary is shearing, which is when two things grind past each other.

Answer= convergent=shearing

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (d)

Compression is the force that is present at a convergent boundary.  

Explanation:

Stress is any external force that acts on the rock leading to either it’s deformation or Reformation. Compression is a type of stress that acts towards the centre of a rock and is present at a convergent boundary.

Horizontal compression may lead to a break in the crust of the earth which is known as thrust faulting whereas vertical compression may lead to a normal fault.
