Abhinav Agashe 4 years ago

As the sediments subduct, the water rises into the overlying mantle material and lowers its melting point. Melting in the mantle above the subducting plate leads to volcanoes within an island or continental arc. ... Large earthquakes are extremely common along convergent plate boundaries

Meghna Thapar 4 years ago

When the plates move they collide or spread apart allowing the very hot molten material called lava to escape from the mantle. When collisions occur they produce mountains, deep underwater valleys called trenches, and volcanoes. The Earth is producing "new" crust where two plates are diverging or spreading apart. When two plate move towards each other they converge or come together. The collision between two plates that are moving towards each other is called a convergent boundary. The collision results in large damaging earthquakes. When two continental plates converge the result is the formation of large folded mountains.
