what happens at a convergent plate boundary

Question

A. Earths rock plates collide with one another
B. Earths rock plates slide past each other
C. Earths rock plates pull away from each other
D. Earths rock plates grow denser

Answer 1

At a convergent plate boundary, the correct answer is:

A. Earth's rock plates collide with one another.

At these boundaries, two tectonic plates move towards each other, which can result in one plate being forced under another in a process called subduction, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
