What occurs when plates with continental crust push together?
a volcano, mountain , or hill will usu. form
How do converging continental plates create mountain ranges?
Mountain ranges are created at convergent plate boundaries. That is where two plates, either ocean and continental or continental and continental come together.
How do mountains form where continental plates collide?
They form because of stresses put on the continental plate, forcing it to crumple. The effect of rising is furthered by the oceanic plate forcing it upwards, and by the melted material also pushing upwards, which is why these ranges also tend to be volcanic. An example is the Andes
Do volcanic islands form where two oceanic plates push together?
no they come when magma erupts from under the ocean
How do plates push together?
Both continental and oceanic plates float on the top surface of the mantle, which is divided into convection cells. The movement of these convection cells drag the plates along: where convection causes the mantle material to fall the plates are pushed together and where convection causes the mantle material to rise the plates are pulled apart.

You occur where plates with continental crust push together?
The subduction
What forms when continental plates push together?
Volcanoes or sometimes earthquake!
How do converging continental plates create mountain ranges?
Mountain ranges are created at convergent plate boundaries. That is where two plates, either ocean and continental or continental and continental come together.
What occurs where plates with continental crust push together?
Two colliding continental plates will cause an uplift. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia creating the Himalaya mountains.

Plate A and Plate B are both continental plates What is the most likely result if the two plates collide?
the plates will push each other up and form a mountain range.
Which landform is likely to form where two oceanic plates push together?
folded mountain
When plates push together compression causes the ground to form what mountain?
stromboli mountains
Place where older crust is destroyed because two plates converge or push together?
continental-continental collision I think. When I got down to the last one, that was the only answer left.
How do most mountains form?
when tectonic plates under the surface collide together and push up
How can the movement of tectonic plates create a mountain?
The plates push and pull and grind against each other they push together the force goes up and they form large mountains!
