They make a mountain.
Convergent plate boundaries.
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
This process is known as subduction and occurs at convergent plate boundaries because oceanic crust is denser than continental crust.
There are two types of crust on Earth: oceanic and continental. A convergent plate boundary can involve two plates of oceanic crust, two of continental crust, or one of each.
The Himalayas, Andes, and Alps are examples of mountain ranges formed by continental-continental convergent boundaries. These boundaries occur when two continental plates collide, resulting in intense folding, faulting, and uplift of the Earth's crust to create mountain ranges.
A conversion boundary is a place where 2 tectonic plates are mving toward each other. There are 3 types of convergent boundaries OCEANIC CRUST-OCEANIC CRUST OCEANIC CRUST-CONTINENTAL CRUST CONTINENTAL CRUST-CONTINENTAL CRUST They are classified according to their crust
At convergent boundaries, oceanic crust sinks beneath continental crust due to its higher density. Oceanic crust is primarily composed of basalt, which is denser than the granitic composition of continental crust. When these two types of crust collide, the denser oceanic plate is subducted into the mantle, creating a trench and often leading to volcanic activity. This process is driven by gravitational forces and the dynamics of plate tectonics.
Crust is destroyed at the convergent plate boundaries in Earth. In between the oceanic and continental plates, the subduction of the denser oceanic crust takes place.
Continental and Oceanic plates.
Convergent boundaries with either oceanic-continental or continental-continental crust types can create enormous mountains. The collision of tectonic plates at these boundaries forces the crust to fold, fault, and uplift, leading to the formation of large mountain ranges like the Himalayas.
The two types of Crust is the Continental Crust and the Oceanic Crust.
