The type of plate boundary that is characterized by plates moving toward each other is called a "convergent plate boundary."
The type of plate boundary that is characterized by plates moving toward each other is called a convergent plate boundary.
To understand this, let's break it down.
First, we need to know what a plate boundary is. It is a boundary or a boundary zone where two tectonic plates meet. Tectonic plates are massive, rigid pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and make up the Earth's outer shell.
Now, let's focus on convergent plate boundaries. Convergent boundaries occur when two tectonic plates are moving towards each other.
To find this answer, you can use multiple resources such as textbooks, scientific articles, or educational websites on geology and plate tectonics. These sources will provide detailed explanations, diagrams, and examples of convergent plate boundaries.
