What happens when the contential crust collides with the same crust?
When continental crust collides with the same crust it creates an earthquake, or sometime it can cause a volcano to explode. Including oceanic crust.
Which portion of the continental margin serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and continental crust?
continental slope
Is continental collision a type of convergent boundary?
Yes. It is a convergent boundary where both masses consist of continental crust.
When a more dense oceanic plate sinks under continental plate?
This is called a destructive plate boundary. It occurs due to the fact that the oceanic crust is far denser than the continental crust. As a result it subducts into the mantle and is incenerated. Hope it helped:)
What happens when convergent plate movement occur?
A convergent boundary of two plates will push together. If it is two continental crusts, then they will both push upward, forming mountains. If it is a continental crust pushing against an oceanic crust, then the oceanic crust will go underneath, melt, and be recycled because the oceanic crust is less dense than the continental crust.
What is likely to occur at a boundary where oceanic crust collides with continental crust?
tides will occur.
The boundary between continental crust and oceanic crust occurs at the base of the?
Continental Slope
When a continental crust collides with a continental crust what is formed?
Fold mountains.
Where oceanic crust collides with continental crust is the?
This type of plate boundary is a convergent boundary where subduction of the denser oceanic slab into the mantle will occur. Because of this it may also be called a destructive margin.
Which plate boundary destroys crust?
Crust is destroyed at the convergent plate boundary. This is usually between the oceanic and continental plates. This is where subduction of the more dense crust occurs.
What happens when a heavier oceanic crust collides with a continental crust?
Trench
What is likely to occur at a plate boundary where oceanic crust collides with crust?
tides will occur.
What happens when the contential crust collides with the same crust?
When continental crust collides with the same crust it creates an earthquake, or sometime it can cause a volcano to explode. Including oceanic crust.
When the ocean floor collides with a crustal plate what happens?
it subducts underneath the crustal plate
A fault generally occurs at a transform boundary?
A strike-slip fault generally occurs at a transform boundary
When a continental crustal plate collides with an oceanic crustal plate the continental crust is forced to move over the oceanic crust What is the primary reason that the continental crust stays on?
Continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust.
What is the boundary between the oceanic crust and the continental crust known as?
Continental margin
