convergent plate boundary

/ °ìÉ™²Ô-±¹Ã»°ù′ÂáÉ™²Ô³Ù /

  1. A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving toward each other. If the two plates are of equal density, they usually push up against each other, forming a mountain chain. If they are of unequal density, one plate usually sinks beneath the other in a subduction zone. The western coast of South America and the Himalayan Mountains are convergent plate boundaries.
  2. Also called active margin collision zone
