Convergent plates are two tectonic plates that are colliding as they move toward each other. There are several types of converging plate boundaries.
Oceanic to oceanic plate convergence:
Where an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate, the more dense plate sub ducts into the mantle. The subduction results in the partial melting of lithospheric rocks above the area of the subduction, causing underwater volcanoes to form. If the volcanoes grow to reach the surface, volcanic arc islands are formed.
Oceanic to continental plate convergence:
Where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the oceanic plate is subducted due to the fact that it is more dense, which can also cause volcanism and mountain building.
Continental to continental plate convergence:
Where two continental plates collide, neither subducts into the mantle, the crust is thickened, and mountain ranges are formed from the thickening and uplift.

What type of plate boundary forms where two plates slide past one another?
That is called a boundary or a transform-fault boundary. :D
What are the 3 types of plate boundarys?
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
What plate boundary that occurs when two plates slide past one another?
This is known as a transform boundary or a strike-slip fault; the U.S. famous one being the San Andreas Fault.
Give the location of a transform boundary in the US?
The transform plate boundary is the boundary where the plates slide past one another. In the United States this boundary is located near the coast of California.
Which type of plate boundary is associated with the San Andreas Fault?
It is on a transform fault boundary.

What is an example of a divergent plate boundary and a transform plate boundary?
Divergent plate boundary: Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Transform plate boundary: San Andreas Fault.
Transform plate boundaries are marked by?
A transform plate boundary shears horizontally against each other. When one crust moves up, the other one moves down. A transform plate boundary produces the second worst earthquakes with (S) waves (Shear or secondary waves). Every boundary including a transform plate boundary are located on a fault.
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanoes?
A transform plate boundary
Types of plate boundaries?
what is the type of plate boundary? divergent, convergent, and transform
What is a real-world example of a transform plate boundary?
The San Andreas fault is a transform plate boundary.
What is the plate boundary called?
transform boundary
What is the name of the plate boundary that slides past each other?
transform boundary
What are the all the boundary?
Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.
What plates make up the transform boundary?
There is more than one transform boundary, an example is the Scotia plate and the South American plate as well as the Juan de Fuca plate and the North American plate.
What plate boundary that occurs when two plates slide past one another?
This is known as a transform boundary or a strike-slip fault; the U.S. famous one being the San Andreas Fault.
