Week 5 Converging Plates

A convergent plate boundary is where two plates smash together, which causes an earthquake. For instances, the Andes Mountain range in South America is an example of the convergent plate boundary. Because of how much the oceanic and continental plate push into each other, it has created a chain of volcanoes above the oceanic plate, and of course, the mountain range. Because of this, it has created a subduction at the boundary. This area is known for its volcanoes and the mountain range and over time there will only be more growing and growing.
