Convergent plate boundary
Two continental tectonic plates pushing into each other form a convergent boundary, which creates mountain ranges like the Himalayas. Convection currents in the Earth's mantle cause the plates to slowly move towards each other over time, forcing the edges to crumple upwards and form mountain chains along the boundary.

- 3. Caption Convergent boundary (continental- continental) is a place where to plates move towards each other

- 5. Cause and Effect Cause Whenthe heat from the core makes material to go up it creates convection currents. These curents slowly force plates to move. When two continental plates pushed into each other, they creat a convergent boundary Effect Mountains are being created as a result of convergent boundary
- 6. Analysis Convergent plate boundaries(continental-continental) is a place where two tectonic plates meet each other. All tectonic plates are constantly being moved because of the convection currents that occur in the mantle. Continental plates are creating mountains when they pushed into each other. A few examples of this feature arethe Himalaya Mountain Range and the Appalachian Mountain Range.
