Are the Pontic Mountains formed by Convergent boundaries or Transform boundaries?
Convergent.
What is an example of convergent boundaries?
An example of convergent plate boundaries on earth is the Himalayas. :)
The boundary formed between 2 plates that are colliding?
a mountain forms
What are convergent boundary mountains?
Convergent boundary mountains are mountains formed by convergent boundaries.
Convergent boundaries that produce maintains boundary produces?
Convergent boundaries that produce maintains are called subduction zones.
What is another type of boundary where rock layers fold to form moun?
convergent

How are convergent boundaries different from divergent boundries?
convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.

Why do you find volcanoes at convergent and divergent boundaries but not at transform boundaries?
Convergent and divergent boundaries melt rock in the upper mantle while transform boundaries do not. Convergent boundaries that involve at least one oceanic plate form subduction zones, where an oceanic plate plunges into the mantle. Volatiles carried into the mantle lower the melting point of the rock there, allowing magma to form.At divergent boundaries the crust becomes thinner. This reduces pressure on the upper mantle, thus lowering melting points and generating magma.Transform boundaries have no such means of producing magma.
Why are divergent boundaries considered constructive while convergent boundaries destructive?
divergent - creates new crustal rockconvergent - destroys old crustal rock
What boundaries make mountains?
Convergent Boundaries
What are convergent boundaries classified by?
The Convergent Boundaries are classifid according to the compass direction of movement of the plates.
What happens to rock along converging boundaries?
It is folded and uplifted, or subducted into the mantle, depending on the type of convergent boundary.
Which of the plate boundaries can produce earthquakes?
Convergent boundaries.
What are the four plate boundaries?
The names of the three different plate boundaries are: Convergent, Divergent, and Transform.
