The boundary formed between 2 plates that are colliding?
a mountain forms
What type of boundary is made when plates collide?
continental plates meeting form fault lines
These form when two continental plates push together?
convergent boundary
What do two plates of equal density form mountain ranges along?
Along their colliding (convergent) boundary.
What is the difference between a convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate and a convergent boundary between two continental plates?
A convergent boundary between two continental plates causes both plates to crumple to form fold mountains e.g. the HimalayasA convergent boundary between a continental and an oceanic causes one to rise above the other. Granite is less dense than basalt, so the continental plate rises above the oceanic plate. This also forms mountains, like the Andes.

What type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move towards each other?
This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
What tectonic plates are colliding?
The movement or action of the plate determines what type it is. When two plates collide, they are creating a convergent boundary. Therefore you could state that they are convergent (or colliding) tectonic plates.
What are the sub-types of convergent plates boundrys?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary is made when plates collide?
continental plates meeting form fault lines
What is the plate tectonic for Mount Bromo?
convergent plate boundary, subduction. the plates are colliding.
Convergent boundaries can be divided into 3 categories what are these categories and what geological feature are created by each?
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.
What are the three types of convergent plate boundries?
The three types of convergent boundaries are when two plates meet and two oceanic plate meet, or where an oceanic and continental plate meet.the three types of convergent boundaries are continent boundaries , continent - ocean boundaries, and last but not least............. ocean boundaries
These form when two continental plates push together?
convergent boundary
What do two plates of equal density form mountain ranges along?
Along their colliding (convergent) boundary.
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.
