These convergent boundaries also occur where a plate of ocean dives, in a process called subduction, under a landmass. As the overlying plate lifts up, it also forms mountain ranges.

Four types of plate tectonic activity are demonstrated in this feature. Keep an eye on the map to see where in the world the activity takes place. ... Convergent Boundary ...

New Zealand's stunning landscape was formed by geological processes over tens of millions of years — and that same geology is what makes the North Island a centre of volcanic activity.

The boundary where the two plates meet is called a convergent boundary. Deep trenches appear at these boundaries, caused by the oceanic plate bending downward into the Earth.
