Hi
user
Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm learning about plate tectonics in school. What are the three main types of plate boundaries?
user
There are three main types of plate boundaries: Divergent, where plates move apart, Convergent, where plates move together, and Transform, where plates slide past each other.
assistant
What happens at a Convergent boundary?
user
At a Convergent boundary, the plates can either collide and crumple, creating mountains, or one plate can be forced under the other, a process known as subduction.
assistant
That makes sense. Can you give me an example of a Convergent boundary?
user
A good example is the Andes mountain range in South America, where the Nazca plate is being subducted under the South American plate.
