In convergent plate boundaries new land is being created, subduction at convergent plate boundaries recycles old land. There are two types of crusts. One is continental crust, it is less dense, oldest rock, and it floats on the top. The other one is oceanic crust, it is more dense, youngest rock, and it subducts below continental plates. In transform boundaries crust is not produced nor destroyed at this type of boundary. It is a San Andreas fault example. There are three types of plate converges. One is oceanic crust towards continental crust, oceanic crust towards oceanic crust, and the last one is oceanic crust towards continental crust. Convergent boundaries produce the most powerful earthquakes.

Climate change

There is a big problem in Bangladesh, the sea level is rising. This is all because of global warming. A woman lost her home all because of rising water. Bangladesh is located near India, on the Bay of Bengal. It is in the Asia content.

This is all happening to the citizens in Bangladesh. All these issues are related to global warming that are affecting the economically poor people in Bangladesh. 

All these issues are happening in Bangladesh. It is affecting all the Bangladeshis. 

The sea level is rising all because of global warming. There is excessive amount of CO2 which is causing the sea level to rise.

A lot of people that live in Bangladesh have started to leave the coastal areas that are being affected by sea level rise.

It is significant because many people are loosing a lot of their property. Many Bangladeshis are loosing their homes because of everything that is happening. 

 The solution to this is to stop global warming that way sea levels stop rising. If global warming doesn't stop the sea levels are going to keep on rising. We need to stop using cars if it's not really necessary, instead of using a car we can walk, use a scooter, bicycle, skateboard, the bus, or trolley. We also need to stop wasting electricity. If global warming doesn't stop there will not be a change.
