The first continental crust formed during the Archean Eon. Geologists have determined that it formed from the solidification of the lighter components of magma between 3.9 and 3.8 billion years ago.

When a continental crust collides with a continental crust what is formed?
Fold mountains.
What is the definition of Continental Continental collision?
The definition of ocean continental collision means the continental crust and the ocean's crust collide with one another. A subduction is formed when the collision occurs.
How are oceanic crust and continental crust similar?
They both behave as brittle solids and are both formed of a mixture of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
What forms from collision of continental crust and oceanic crust?
A basic mountain should be formed from the collision of continental crust and oceanic crustAnswerWhen an oceanic and a continental crust collide, the heavier oceanic crust tends to subduct under the lighter continental crust. Because of the collision and corresponding compression and also because of volcanism related to dehydration and melting of the subducted plate a mountain range is formed. The Andes mountain range is a, if not the, most typical example.
What landform will be formed at this type of convergent plate boundary?
Continental /Oceanic Crust is being formed.
When a continental crust collides with a continental crust what is formed?
Fold mountains.
How were the mountains on the west coast of North America formed?
oceanic crust and continental crust collided, with the continental crust subducting under the oceanic crust
Where is new continental crust formed?
at themid oceanridges
What is the definition of Continental Continental collision?
The definition of ocean continental collision means the continental crust and the ocean's crust collide with one another. A subduction is formed when the collision occurs.
What is a continental crust?
the continental crust is the plate crust formed under the continent (less density) as opposed to oceanic crustformed under the ocean(higher density)
What features are commonly formed at the plate boundaries where continental crust converges with oceanic crust?
trench..............................
What is the difference between the thickness of the continetal crust and oceanic crust?
In technical terms, the oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust so when the continental crust and the oceanic crust meet the continental crust will sink under and the oceanic crust will slide over and a volcano will be formed as well as producing earthquakes in the process.

They both behave as brittle solids and are both formed of a mixture of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.

Continental /Oceanic Crust is being formed.
What is continental and oceanic crust?
The continental crust is the land. The oceanic is under the ocean.
Is the crust formed or destroyed at a sliding boundary?
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
