Convergent Plate Boundary

What are subduction zones and how are they related to convergent plate boundaries?

• Subduction zones are areas where tectonic plates are moving away from each other

• Subduction zones are related to divergent plate boundaries

• Subduction zones occur at the boundary where two plates are moving parallel to each other

• Subduction zones are areas where one tectonic plate is being forced underneath another plate. They are related to convergent plate boundaries because they occur at the boundary where two plates are moving towards each other.
