Convergent boundary

A convergent plate boundary is the boundary that occurs when two plates collide each other either a continental plate with continental plate or oceanic plate. This causes very large earth movements. Plate collision can produce earthquakes, volcanoes, the formation of mountains, and other geological events over time. The Himalayas were formed by such a collision. Earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries. This is because of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle.
