... 1. Convergent: 2 plates come towards each other. If one plate is an ocean plate, it will dive under the less dense continental plate, producing a subduction zone and a trench. If both are continents, the rock will fold, fault, and lead to mountain-building – like the Himalayas! 2. Transform: 2 p ...

Physical oceanography
Physical oceanography is the study of physical conditions and physical processes within the ocean, especially the motions and physical properties of ocean waters.Physical oceanography is one of several sub-domains into which oceanography is divided. Others include biological, chemical and geological oceanographies.
