subduction zones may themselves be transformed to other types of plate boundary. For example, when India collided with Asia, an active subduction zone was transformed into a collision that formed ...

These convergent boundaries also occur where a plate of ocean dives, in a process called subduction, under a landmass. As the overlying plate lifts up, it also forms mountain ranges. In addition ...

The plate tectonics that determine the shape of our continents may have originated from a huge impact billions of years ago. This huge collision with the Earth, thought to have occurred around 4.5 ...

At collision zones fold mountains will be formed. These are plate boundaries where two plates are either slipping past each other in opposite directions or at different rates in the same direction.
