the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.

What are mountains associated with convergent plate boundaries?

The mountains that are associated with convergent plate boundaries are mountain ranges or mountain belts. Examples of a mountain range is the Andes.


What are continental mountain ranges associated with?

Continental mountain ranges are associated with the convergent boundaries of tectonic plates. When two plates collide, they can cause the Earth's crust to uplift, creating mountain ranges. Examples include the Rocky Mountains in North America and the Himalayas in Asia.


Were the Zagros mountains formed because of a convergent boundary?

Yes, the Zagros Mountains were formed due to the collision between the Arabian Plate and the Eurasian Plate along a convergent boundary. This ongoing tectonic activity continues to uplift and shape the Zagros Mountains.


What features are common at convergent continental-continental boundaries?

mountains and valleys are formed...pretty much


What type of convergent boundary is himalaya mountains formed by?

Continental Collision Boundary


What feature is associated with a continental plate boundary?

Mountain formation is a feature associated with a continental plate boundary, where the collision of two continental plates results in the uplift of the Earth's crust, creating mountain ranges such as the Himalayas.


How do the mountains that form along an oceanic oceanic convergent boundary differ from those associated with an oceanic continental convergent boundary?

the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.


How was the Andes Mountains and Cascade Mountains most likely formed?

A convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate.


How do the mountains that form along an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary differ from those associated with an oceanic-continental convergent boundary?

In a oceanic-continentalconvergent boundaryyou normally get subduction , when one plate slides under another. In this case the plate subducting, or going under is the oceanic plate ( it is more dense ), so the mountains would be just of the continental plate. In aoceanic-oceanic convergent boundary the mountains would just be oceanic ( basalt).


The Himalaya mountains were formed in a collision of what boundary?

The Himalaya mountains were formed in a collision of the Indian Plate pushing into the Eurasian Plate, in a convergent boundary known as a continental collision.


What plate boundary is in the Himalayan mountains?

The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.
