Alaska Subscriber. Answer: A triplane fracture extends through the transverse (growth plate), sagittal (epiphysis), and coronal (distal tibial metaphysis) planes of the distal tibia. It disrupts the tibial plafond intra-articularly.
Convergent Boundaries. Introduction. Convergent boundaries form when two crustal plates are colliding. The plates form a subduction zone with one plate descending beneath the other plate. One of the converging plates must be an oceanic plate to form a subduction zone.When two continental plates collide mountain ranges like the Himalayas form.Trenches form at subduction zones, USGS.

The subducting plate is being recycled as it begins to melt at about 100 kilometers. The water soaked oceanic plate forms molten rock that collects in magma chambers.
When a convergent boundary occurs between two oceanic plates one of those plates will subduct beneath the other. Normally the older plate will subduct because of its higher density. The subducting plate is heated as it is forced deeper into the mantle and at a depth of about 100 miles (150 km) the plate begins to melt.he Himalaya Mountain Range is the best active example of this type of plate boundary.
