    The document discusses three types of convergent plate boundaries: 1) oceanic-continental boundaries where the oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate, forming volcanoes and trenches; 2) oceanic-oceanic boundaries where both plates subduct, causing tsunamis and forming volcanic island arcs; and 3) continental-continental boundaries where shallow earthquakes occur and mountains form as the plates collide.
