Geosphere lesson review

No lithosphere is destroyed or created, and mountain chains are not built at this boundaries.

 Plates collide, leading to subduction (one plate going under another) or mountain formation (e.g., Himalayas).

What features created by convergent boundaries

Inner core is solid metal and outer core is a liquid metal primarily composed of iron and nickel.

It is about 2,250 kilometers (1,367 miles) thick, and the temperature increases from 4,000°C to 9,000°F

refers to the solid part of the Earth,

A type of convergent plate boundary  that one plate is subducted beneath the other, often creating an ocean trench. 

Plates move due to convection currents in the outer core

A type of convergent plate boundary  that the oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate

Asthenosphere (crust and upper mantle) is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere
