CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARIES
CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARIES earthquake was the Philippine plate and the
Convergent plate boundaries. A= Continental collision. B=Ocean-to-ocean
Figure 20: Block diagram showing how the topographic contrast across an
Destructive plate margin; oceanic crust is forced below the continental
destructive plate boundaries come together and fight over each other.
Remember, volcanoes may occur at both constructive and destructive plate

The diagram below ties this type of plate margin into the rock cycle.

This type of plate boundary is called a destructive plate boundary.
Plate boundaries can be classified into the categories of diverging
The point where two or more plates meet is known as a plate boundary.
