How do tectonic plates move at convergent subduction boundaries? Insert a drawing with the arrows that show the movement

Answer:

If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. ... As the sinking plate moves deeper into the mantle, fluids are released from the rock causing the overlying mantle to partially melt.
