- Convergent Plate Boundaries—Accreted Terranes - U. S. National Park . . .
Accreted terranes are the blocks of continental fragments and oceanic islands that have collided with a continent and are now permanently attached All continents, including North America, tend to be older in their interiors and grow outward over geologic time, as terranes are added to the edges of the continent

From north to south, these terranes are the Wallowa, Baker, and Olds Ferry terranes Most of the Wallowa Terrane preserves the plutonic-volcanic arc axis of one or more island arcs and their overlying sedimentary carapace
