Convergent plate boundaries - subduction, collision and Island arcs - what are their features?

In this episode, I talk about the geological and topographic
features of three types of convergent plate boundaries -
subduction, collision, and island arcs.  We cover
earthquakes, volcanoes, deep ocean trenches, mountain building,
and more.  This is a great summary for students learning
about Plate Tectonics.


If you want a summary of the theory - you can find a podcast
episode that covers the theory here.


If you want a booklet covering the theory and evidence, check out
this one - its great idea as a class set.


And finally, if you are looking for activities for students on
Plate tectonics, then see what we have in our Member Resources
page.
