| At the second type of boundary, a convergent plate boundary, two adjacent plates, come together. |
|
| Two end-member models have been used to describe interplate coupling and the recurrence of great earthquakes at convergent plate boundary zones. |
|
| Where the asthenosphere sinks back down to deeper levels, it drags the overlying plate down with it, creating a convergent plate boundary called a subduction zone. |
|
| Figure 6 shows that volcanic high islands are found in both intraplate and convergent plate boundary situations in the Pacific. |
|
| Normal faulting mechanisms observed in the northern foothills of the Central Western Pyrenees are remarkable, since one expects thrust faults at a convergent plate boundary. |
|
| The Sunda megathrust is located at a convergent plate boundary where it forms the interface between the overriding Eurasian plate and the subducting Indo-Australian plate. |
|
| Subduction typically occurs at a moderately steep angle right at the point of the convergent plate boundary. |
|
| Convergent plate boundary tectonics is characterised by a variety of deformation patterns from subduction orogenesis to continental collision zones. |
