Question

What happens at all convergent plate boundaries?

Answer 1

Explanation:

At convergent plate boundaries two plates are moving towards one another and different scenarios are in play.

Most importantly, at these margins the crust is being destroyed.

• At continental - continental crust margin, there is an uplift because the density of the two crust is similar and lesser than that of the mantle below.
• At continental  - oceanic crust margin, subduction zones are found where the denser oceanic crust sinks beneath into the mantle.
• This is also the case with ocean - ocean convergence zone.

Some of the features found at this margin include, oceanic trenches, accretionary wedges, volcanic islands, earthquakes
