As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries. When two plates move towards one another, they form either a subduction zone or a continental collision.hen one plate is composed of oceanic lithosphere and the other is composed of continental lithosphere, the denser oceanic plate is subducted, often forming an orogenic belt and associated mountain range. This type of convergent boundary is similar to the Andes or the Cascade Range in North America.
Small Business Administration (SBA) The U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is responsible for providing affordable, timely and accessible financial assistance to homeowners, renters and businesses of all sizes located in a declared disaster area.
There are a number of resources available to you, including the U.S. Small Business Administration. The SBA can provide information and assistance in many areas, including guidance on managing and financing your small business, in person and on its website. Financial Resources The SBA does not directly finance or provide loans to small businesses, but it does provide guidance and support for those who are looking for financial assistance. The Guaranteed Loans Program helps small-business owners who do not have access to traditional financing, by guaranteeing a loan that is administered by a commercial lender.
