Question

What happens at a convergent boundary?
Question 3 options:

Collisions occur as lithospheric plates move toward each other.

Mountains form as lithospheric plates move side by side past each other.


Magnetism occurs as lithospheric plates are attracted toward each other by gravity.

Earthquakes occur as lithospheric plates move away from each other.

Answer 1

At a convergent boundary, the correct option is:

**Collisions occur as lithospheric plates move toward each other.**

At convergent boundaries, two tectonic plates collide, which can lead to the formation of mountains, trenches, and various geological features depending on the types of crust involved (continental or oceanic).
