What is the direction of plate motion at a convergent plate boundary?
a. Tectonic plates move together (towards each other)
b. Tectonic plates move apart (away from each other)
c. Tectonic plates slide past each other
At convergent boundaries, plates collide with one another. The collision buckles the edge of one or both plates, creating a mountain range or subducting one of the plates under the other, creating a deep seafloor trench.
