Convergent Boundary

Model of Convergent Boundary 

Three type of convergent boundary.

1. Oceanic-Continental

#Two plates will meet, one is oceanic and another is continental.

2. Continental-Continental

#In this case neither piece of crust is dense enough to subduct

3. Oceanic-Oceanic

#Two plates meet with oceanic crust colliding.

      The Convergent boundary is where two or more tectonic plates collide with each other causing massive earth movements. The earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries. This happen because of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mentlew.

Two types of Subduction:

1: Oceanic: The Oceanic crust moves under. A deep ocean teach forms at the coast. Oceanic is all about water.

1:Continental: Continental crust is all about land. The edge of the continental plate folds into a huge mountain range.

Continental-Oceanic

               The continental-oceanic that to plates will meet, one is oceanic and the another is continental. The oceanic is always subduct, being denser. The continental  more buoyant (Bright). They are created when oceanic plates push into and move underneath a continental plate. The oceanic plate actually lifts up to create a mountain range and the continental plate that over rides. When continental  and oceanic plates collide the thinner and more dense oceanic plate is overridden by the thicker and less dense continental plate. They create volcanoes. The type of volcano create is start volcano / composite volcano. For a good example for this, is the Washington- oregon coastline of the united states is an convergent plate boundary.
