Convergent Plate Boundaries Model
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4403
The Convergent Plate Boundaries Model (SKU JA-ERAM-4403) is a plate tectonics model of a convergent, or destructive, plate boundary: a zone where two lithospheric plates collide. It illustrates the subduction zone, where one plate descends beneath another and magma is generated, which explains the link between convergent boundaries, volcanoes and deep ocean trenches. JaincoLab makes this plate boundary model for school geography and college geology teaching, together with divergent and transform boundary models.
Specifications
The model represents a convergent plate boundary with a subduction zone, as described below; size, material, base and colouring are not stated in the listing and are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the convergent plate boundaries model
The model is used to teach what happens where plates meet head-on, linking subduction to volcanoes, earthquakes, ocean trenches and fold mountains in plate tectonics lessons.
- Plate tectonics lessons in school geography
- Earthquakes and volcanoes topics in earth science
- Subduction and mountain building in college geology
- Comparing the three types of plate boundary
Scope of supply and ordering

Frequently asked questions
What is a convergent plate boundary?
A zone where lithospheric plates collide; it is also called a destructive plate boundary.
Where is magma generated at these boundaries?
At subduction zones, where one plate descends beneath another.
Are the other boundary types available?
Yes. Divergent and transform plate boundary models are listed under related products.
