Other small natural objects in orbit around the Sun may enter orbit around Earth for a short amount of time, becoming temporary natural satellites. To date, the only confirmed example has been 2006 RH120 in Earth orbit during 2006 and 2007, though further instances are already predicted.
Convergent boundary. In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary, also known as a destructive plate boundary, is an actively deforming region where two tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide.n a subduction zone, the subducting plate, which is normally a plate with oceanic crust, moves beneath the other plate, which can be made of either oceanic or continental crust. During collisions between two continental plates, large mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas are formed.
Examples of Convergent Boundaries. The west coast of South America is a convergent boundary between the Nazca plate and the South American plate. The collision of this oceanic and continental plate was how the Andes mountains were formed. Convergent boundaries can also form islands.n this lesson, you will learn the meaning of the term 'convergent boundary' in the context of plate tectonics. A number of features and examples of convergent boundaries will be introduced. A short quiz will follow.
