When 2 plates with continental crust collide happens to the continental crust?
Sometimes, they buckle and create mountains. More often than not, the less dense plate slips under the more dense plate.
What happens and what forms when 2 continental plates collide?
When two continental plates collide they buckle up and fold forming mountains.
What happens when 2 continental plates collide into each other?
Landforms such as ocean trenches and mountain ranges are created.
What is it called when two tectonic plates colide?
It's referred to as a Convergent Boundary If 2 Continental Plates --> Mountains If 2 Oceanic Plates --> Subduction of Heavier (older) Plate If Continental-Oceanic --> Oceanic Plate slides under the Continental Plate (Subduction of Oceanic)
What happens if 2 tornadoes collide?
If 2 tornadoes collide they will merge into one tornado.
What happends when 2 plates carring continental crust collide?
Earthquakes
When 2 plates made of continental lithosphere collide may form?
A mountain
What happens when 2 tectonic plates collide?
When two plates collide directly (versus sliding along each other) they typically form a mountain range. For example, the Himalayan Mountains are are formed by the collision of the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate. As John McPhee says in "Annals of the Former World", the most amazing thing is that the summit of Mount Everest, the worlds tallest mountain, is marine limestone.
What are the 3 subtypes of convergent plate boundaries?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
Compare and contrast the three plate boundaries?
Oceanic-continental convergence (when an oceanic plate meets a continental plate) & oceanic-oceanic convergence (2 oceanic plates) both involve oceanic plates & subduction. Continental-continental convergence (2 continental plates) involves neither.
What are the three sub types of convergent plate boundrys?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
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.
