Which force causes the plates to converge?

The correct answer is pressure.

The forces that cause plates to come together are pressure, compressive strength, and tension.
Pressure is the main cause of the plates' convergence, and it is a force that must be equal on both sides.
The main reason for the convergence of the plates is compressive force, a force that must be equal at both ends.
Finally, tension is the force that causes diverging plates to move in opposite directions.
Plate tectonics consists of both the continental lithosphere and the oceanic lithosphere, each covered by its own crust and embedded in the mantle along.
Through this process, the rocks are flexed and bent again, and this is what causes the plates to come together.
