What are the two different types of islands?
The two different types of islands are oceanic and continental
What geologic features are associated with each type of convergent boundary?
Subduction zones, trenches and volcanic islands: the boundary that is oceanic. Trenches and volcanic islands: an oceanic-continental boundary. Folded mountain ranges: a continental and continental collision.
What type of convergent boundary is Aleutian islands?
oceanic- continental boundary
Is Japan continental continental oceanic oceanic or continental oceanic?
Oceanic-Oceanic.
What terms do geographers use to classify the island formations of the pacific ocean?
The continental islands, Oceanic islands, and the Atolls.
What terms do geographers use to classify the island formation of the pacific island?
The continental islands, Oceanic islands, and the Atolls.
What is a specific example of what forms as a result of a shift in a convergent boundary?
at an oceanic to continental convergent boundary trenches and volcanic mountains can form. at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary trenches and volcanic islands can form. at a continental to continental convergent boundary fold mountains can form
What boundary causes volcanic islands?
A convergent boundry, when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide.
What 3 types of convergent boundaries exist?
Oceanic-Continental, Oceanic-Oceanic, and Continental-Continental.
What happens when two crusts collide?
When two crustal plates are in the process of collision they deform, the results of which vary:continental-continental, large mountain building (e.g. asia-india building the himalayas)oceanic-oceanic, island arc building with volcanic islands (e.g. the Japanese islands)oceanic-continental, subduction of oceanic plate under continental plate with inland volcanoes (e.g. volcanoes in Washington, Oregon, and northern California)
What is the difference between an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary and a oceanic-continental convergent boundary?
Oceanice oceanic has a trench, which is usually the deepest part of the ocean. It also has a volcanic island. That is how Islands are found in the center of oceans. oceanic convergent has similar features but do not have islands but instead volcanic arc on the continents.
Are islands a part of the continent?
Some Islands are parts of continents (high points in the continental shelf) eg The British Isles. Some Islands are parts of continents that have become detached during continental drift (eg Seychelles or Madagascar) Some Islands are unrelated to continents and result from oceanic plate processes (eg Hawaii). Some Islands are a result of the interaction between continental and oceanic plates (eg some of the Caribbean Islands, Japan and Cyprus).
