    - creation of mid-ocean ridges

    -creation of new mountains

    -formation of earthquakes

    -formation of volcanoes

    Convergent boundary plate tectonic involves collisions between oceanic and continental plates. The thinner and less denser oceanic plate overriden by the thicker and more denser continental plate. The oceanic plate is forced down the mantle, this event is known as subduction. The magma present in the mantle causes melting of subduction plates. The magma enters inside these plates through pores. This magma plate becomes bouyant and moves upwards. The molten magma causes volcanic eruptions along with earthquakes. If the magma solidifies in the subduction zone it creates mid ocean ridges. The mountains are formed near the continents when the magma after volcanic eruption gets cooled and solidified.
