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.
