The southeasterly side is a complex but generally convergent boundary with the Pacific Plate.

The oceanic lithosphere subducts at what are known as convergent boundaries.

Most of its borders are convergent boundaries including a subduction zone to the west.

The nature of a convergent boundary depends on the type of plates that are colliding.

This convergent boundary has been the site of many large megathrust earthquakes.

To its east is a convergent boundary with the Woodlark Plate.

At convergent boundaries the rate of plate subduction is determined in a similar way.

A convergent boundary is where two or more tectonic plates collide with each other causing massive earth movements.

Reverse faults occur in areas where the crust is being shortened such as at a convergent boundary.

This is an example of a convergent boundary in Tectonics.
