For more on divergent boundary, go to The Sea Floor Spread. Also known as subduction boundary, a convergent boundary occurs where one plate slides under another as the two are pushed together.

a team of geologists from ETH Zurich and the California Institute of Technology has identified ancient tectonic plate-like zones in regions far removed from subduction boundaries. These findings ...

The answer is subduction. In locations around the world, ocean crust subducts, or slides under, other pieces of Earth's crust. The boundary where the two plates meet is called a convergent boundary.

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. In addition ...

In the modern world, there are many foreland basin systems, including the interior of South America, east of the Andes, a subduction boundary; and the depositional basins bordering the Himalayas and ...

Non-volcanic tremor ramp up precedes slow slip in Cascadia by about a day, indicating that brittle-creeping process ...

In regions of convergence, one plate can sink under another in a subduction zone, or two colliding plates can form a mountain belt. At divergent boundaries, plates move away from each other and ...

"The main takeaway is that the subduction zone plate boundary contains much more foliated, damaged rocks than what we thought about before at this kilometer scale, which is relevant to earthquake ...

Figure 1: Slip along the plate boundary fault of a subduction zone. Although a recent analysis of NVT in Cascadia supports its origin at the plate boundary interface, (K. Creager, Univ.
