At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates collide, leading to the deformation of rock layers. This can result in the formation of mountains, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity. The immense pressure can cause folding, faulting, and metamorphism of the rocks, altering their structure and composition. Additionally, one plate may be forced beneath another in a process called subduction, which further impacts the geological landscape.
