This means the coming together of the plates, I believe. Have not been able to find the technical term. Here's some context:
Sin embargo, si admitimos el fin del estadio extensional al finalizar el cretácico, se deduce que la velocidad de acercamiento Iberia-Eurasia entre el límite K-T (65.5 Ma) hasta el desarrollo de Sn a los 61 Ma, fue de 13.5 mm/y.
It's probably so simple, but I am not sure how to put this in English. Thanks for your help in advance. UK English. Cheers. :)

I think this could be what you are referring to.
This mountain-building process known as plate convergence works like this:. Earth's rigid lithosphere floats like a raft on the hot, ductile asthenosphere. ...
Oceanic-oceanic plate convergence also results in the formation of undersea volcanoes. Over millions of years, however, the erupted lava and volcanic debris ...
