the place where two different plates have contact.

• Pacific Plate

• Mountains

• Earthquakes

• Plate Boundaries

the process in which a denser plate is pushed downward beneath a less dense plate when plates converge; occurs at continental to oceanic boundaries and oceanic to oceanic boundaries

• divergent boundaries

• volcanic eruptions

• subduction

• convergent boundary
