Other examples of convergent boundaries:
Continental to Continental- Neither plate is subducted because they are both too light. 
Continental to Oceanic- The oceanic plate is subducted under the continental plate because it is denser.

The small Cocos Plate is being subducted under the North American and Caribbean Plates.

Interesting Facts:
1. It is split into two sections because the Tehuantepec Ridge intersects it (the northern part is narrow and has no basin, while the southern portion is wide and contains a very large basin). 
2. It is the 18th deepest trench in the world.
3. There is many earthquakes in this area because of multiple plates colliding.]]> 2020-10-27 22:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/867737107 francka107 https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/869371417 As you can see, the Pacific plate is being subducted by the Phillipine Plate to form the Mariana Trench and the Mariana Islands]]> 2020-10-28 12:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/869371417 shaheena1231 https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/871600622 2020-10-28 22:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/871600622 hancocke054 https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/871887130 The Philippine Trench is considered to still be an active depression and is less than 8 million years. It is located to the east of the Philippine Islands. This was created from the Palawan and Zamboanga plates colliding. The deepest point of the trench is 10,540 meters deep, and is known as the Galathea Depth. ]]> 2020-10-29 01:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/871887130 hancocke054 https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/871889501 2020-10-29 01:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/871889501 zeamans069 https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/872127448 At the convergent boundary the two plates move towards each other and impact into one another. 
Between the two Oceanic plates one of the two plates will subduct underneath the other. This means that this plate is forced to sink down under the other plate, because of the high gravitational, potential energy, into the mantle. ]]> 2020-10-29 04:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/872127448 zeamans069 https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/872135318 2020-10-29 04:56:28 UTC https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/872135318 zeamans069 https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/872153872 One of the five volcanos making up Hawaii was formed, what has found to be over a million years ago, when the Pacific plate moved onto a Hawaiian hot spot. 
Mauna Loa is the second most active volcano on the island, right after Kilauea.
 Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano on Earth, with a very impressive height of 13,697 feet tall, above sea level! It also runs about 3, 100 feet, below sea level.
 It is also found that Mauna Loa is a shield volcano. This volcano is covering more than fifty percent of all of Hawaii.]]> 2020-10-29 05:13:26 UTC https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/872153872 zeamans069 https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/872171588 2020-10-29 05:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/shaheena1231/a3heum0fjd415ow3/wish/872171588
