 * Section 1 :**
 * A plate boundary where two plates are moving towards each other.
 * The nature of a convergent boundary depends on the type of lithosphere in the plates that are colliding. Where a dense oceanic plate collides with a less-dense continental plate, the oceanic plate is typically thrust underneath because of the greater buoyancy of the continental lithosphere, forming a subduction zone.

__**Continental VS. Continental:**__
 * Section 2 :**
 * When two continents meet the land either goes up, creating a mountain . It may also go down, this will create a trench or volcano.

 * __Section 3:__**
 * When an oceanic plate pushes into and subducts under a continental plate, the overriding continental plate is lifted up and a mountain range is created. A trench or volcano may

 * __Ocean vs. Ocean:__**
 * When two oceanic plates converge one is usually subducted under the other and in the process a deep oceanic trench is formed. An island arc may also be
