Convergent plate boundary a subduction zone is formed at a convergent plate boundary when one or most of the tectonic plates is of oceanic crust
A SUBDUCTION ZONE IS FORMED AT A CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY WHEN ONE OR MOST OF THE TECTONIC PLATES IS COMPOSED OF OCEANIC CRUST.

Continent vs ocean
Examples are oceanic trench and Andes Mountains

CONTINENTAL VS CONTINENTAL
- A example is a continental landform

SUBDUCTION
- Is a process that takes place at a convergent boundry when one plate sinks under
- Another into the mantel.
IN GEOLOGY, SUBDUCTION IS THE PROCESS THAT TAKES PLACE AT CONVERGENT BOUNDARY OF CONVERSION

DEEP OCEAN TRENCH
- The deepest spot in the ocean. A example is the Dead Sea.

TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARY
- When two plates slide past one another, in other words a earthquake.
- A event caused by an earth quake was a tsunami in Japan in 2011.
- Another example of a transform boundary is San Andreas fault.
