Convergent Plate Boundaries #3
Convergent plate boundaries are zones where plates move together. In zones where continental crust meets oceanic crust, one slides beneath the other. The sinking crust eventually turns into magama and will assist in creating volcanoes.
Geology of Transform Plate Boundaries
Causes shallow earthquakes
Ocean crust is destroyed
Magma is created when oceanic crust is consumed
Results in submarine volcanoes and volcanic islands
Happens on the ocean floor
