Definitions:

Convergent Boundary

A tectonic boundary where two or more tectonic plates move towards each other, often resulting in mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.

Oceanic Plate

Subducts

Occurs when one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the Earth's mantle due to plate tectonic processes.

Subduction Zone

A region at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate moves under another into the mantle, often causing earthquakes and volcanic activity.
