Convergent Plate Boundary
What is Convergent Boundary?
- Convergent boundary is when the plates move left and the other plates are moving right so they will end up colliding and one of them will go over the other plate and crush the land and create an earthquake.
-When the plates collide and and the outer side of the plates crumbled.
-When some plates diverge they will meet another plate and then they will converge.
-It takes millions of years to move since they are so big and heavy .
-When land diverges volcanoes rises and spews out lava and when lava hits water it becomes land and then those divert then they will eventually start converging.
-When they collide, the edges bend then one will slowly go over top of the other one(this is called subduction).
-Also the convergent currents can make mountain ranges.
-When a plate hits another plate if there is a volcano near by it will erupt.
-They can be dangerous places to live because volcanoes are formed near subduction zones create by the converging plates.
- Also can start a tsunami
Questions
-What happens when two plates collide?
-Will volcanoes near were the two plates collide erupt?
-How do the mountain ranges made?
-Do you think it takes little time or a long time for a plate to move?
-What do u think will happen in a billion years with the movement?
