What are the three possible tectonic plate combinations at convergent boundaries?
Each of the plates may be oceanic or continental. That gives three possibilities:oceanic - oceanicoceanic - continentalcontinental - continental.
What are some examples of collisions between a continental plate and an oceanic plate?
The Andes mountains of South America and the Cascade Mountains of North America are some examples of a continental-oceanic plate boundaries.
What type os mountains form at convergent boundaries where two oceanic plates meet?
continental arc
What are the three different setting of convergent boundaries?
The three types of convergent plate boundaries are Oceanic-Oceanic, Continental-Continental, Continental-Oceanic.
What type of structure typically forms at a divergent boundary?
Three main structures form by convergent boundaries. There are three types of convergent boundaries, oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental- continental. Oceanic to oceanic boundaries form volcanic islands, because the two plates come together, one crust goes under, the other forms a mountain, and the lava from the crust that went under the other one goes through the mountain, making it a volcano. Oceanic- continental convergent boundaries form volcanoes, the continental crust form the mountain, the oceanice goes under and makes the lava that goes up through the mountain and makes a volcano. continental to continental boundaries form mountains. since both crusts are of the same density, they both shoot up and form a mountain.

What types of mountains form at convergent boundaries where two oceanic plates meet?
volcanic mountains
What forms on oceanic convergent boundaries?
I think its either a Trench or mountains/Volcanoes.
What are some examples of collisions between a continental plate and an oceanic plate?
The Andes mountains of South America and the Cascade Mountains of North America are some examples of a continental-oceanic plate boundaries.
What type os mountains form at convergent boundaries where two oceanic plates meet?
continental arc
What type of boundaries are subduction zones associated with?
Convergent oceanic - continental and oceanic - oceanic boundaries.
What type of mountains form at convergent boundaries where to oceanic plates meet?
When two continental plates converge, it results in formation of high mountains such as the Himalayan mountain.
What are the types of collisions that happen at convergent boundaries?
Subduction (where one plate is forced beneath another less dense plate - may occur at oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental boundaries), obduction (where oceanic plate is forced over a continental plate) and orogenesis where two continental plates collide and mountains are formed (e.g. the Himalayas).
What are produced at oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries?
trench
What are 3 kinds of mountains that may be formed by the movement of tetonic plates?
Below are the 3 types of plate boundaries, not collisions. I'm not sure myself what the correct answer is, but I know that this is incorrect.The three are divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries.The types of collisions are oceanic-oceanic which create Mt Pinatubi, oceanic-continental which create Mt. St. Helens, continental-continental which create the Himalayas, oceanic-oceanic which create the Ring of Fire and the transform boundary which is like the San Andreas Fault.
