Definitions

1. A convergent plate boundary is formed when tectonic plates collide more or less head-on.
2. This is a convergent plate boundary, the plates move towards each other.

Mountains

1. These mountains were formed at a convergent plate boundary as the continents that made up Pangaea came together.

Colliding

1. Plates pushing against each other or are colliding produce a convergent plate boundary.

Boundary

1. Part 5 looks at the changes along a convergent plate boundary where the subducting slab has a finite length in that third dimension along the boundary.

Pacific Plate

1. The North American and Pacific Plate meet at a convergent plate boundary.

Plate

1. The range sits near a convergent plate boundary where one plate overrides another.

South American Plate

1. Troubled Times South American Plate - The South American plate is about 1 3 land mass with a convergent plate boundary on the west coast.

Farallon Plate

1. Prior to the mid-Tertiary period, the California coast lay along a convergent plate boundary between the Farallon Plate and the North American Plate.

Oceanic Crust

1. Obduction is the overthrusting of continental crust by oceanic crust or mantle rocks at a convergent plate boundary. (Web site)

Plates

1. Convergent Plate Movement: When two plates collide (at a convergent plate boundary), some crust is destroyed in the impact and the plates become smaller. (Web site)
2. PLATES ARE DESTROYED (SUBDUCTION): This is a convergent plate boundary, the plates move towards each other. (Web site)

Plate Boundary

1. The difference in relative motion changed the geometry on the new plate boundary, replacing the convergent plate boundary with a transform plate boundary.

Subduction Zone

1. The Cascadia subduction zone is a subduction zone, a type of convergent plate boundary that stretches from northern Vancouver Island to northern California.

Tectonic Plate

1. The second setting is on a convergent plate boundary, where one tectonic plate is submerged under another.

Overriding Plate

1. A usually arc-shaped chain of volcanoes located on the margin of the overriding plate at a convergent plate boundary. (Web site)

Subducting Plate

1. The resulting volcano chain has the shape of an arc parallel to the convergent plate boundary and convex toward the subducting plate. (Web site)

Lithospheric Plates

1. CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARIES At a convergent plate boundary, two lithospheric plates move toward each other.

Convergent Plate Boundary

1. A subduction zone is formed at a convergent plate boundary when one or both of the tectonic plates is composed of oceanic crust.
2. Subduction zones are one type of convergent plate boundary where either an oceanic or a continental plate overrides an oceanic plate. (Web site)
3. Convergent At a convergent plate boundary, lithospheric plates move toward each other. (Web site)
