place. A specific type of boundary is a convergent plate boundary. At this
type of boundary, two plates are moving towards each other. Neither plate

... plate boundaries, one plate is pushed a bit under the other
normally. At the sea floor to continent boundary, the sea floor is
subducted. As the plates move together, molten material from the mantle
seeps up between the converging plates. The gap is closed as the plates
move more into each other, locking the molten material in. This, by the way,
happens at all of the convergent boundaries. After much time, pressure
builds up as the molten material churns in its chamber. It gets hotter, and
as we know from the laws of physics, heat rises due to its kinetic energy.
So, as the pressure get to be too much, the molten material goes up.
