Footage posted by the INGV shows the spectacular images. Mount Etna, a highly active volcano worldwide, sits atop the convergent plate margin where the African Plate meets the Eurasian Plate.

Heterogeneities in the downgoing and upper plates are features commonly found along all convergent margins. Thus, their controls on Andean-type chains, plate margin morphologies and continental ...

Convergent plate margins are currently distinguished as ‘accretional’ or ‘erosional’, depending on the tendency to accumulate sediments, or not, at the trench. Accretion and erosion can ...

Geological processes at convergent plate margins are considered in the context of plate tectonic principles. Topics to be addressed include: driving forces of tectonic plates, mantle convection, ...

Mount Etna, one of the most active volcanoes worldwide, sits atop the convergent plate margin where the African Plate meets ...

Italy’s Mount Etna volcano violently erupted on Monday, sending plumes of toxic ash and smoke billowing into the sky as people on the mountain ran for safety to escape the danger.

These convergent boundaries also occur where a plate of ocean dives, in a process called subduction, under a landmass. As the overlying plate lifts up, it also forms mountain ranges.

"The Nazca plate subducts under the South American continental plate, in a prime example of relatively young convergent motion, where mountain building is going on," he says. Understanding earthquakes ...
