Which plate boundary occurs as continental crust collides with continental crust?

Convergent plate boundaries.


Is the crust formed or destroyed at a sliding boundary?

At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.


Is the crust formed or destroyed at the sliding boundary?

At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.


Why does oceanic crust dive underneath continental crust?

This process is known as subduction and occurs at convergent plate boundaries because oceanic crust is denser than continental crust.


What two types of plates does convergent boundaries involve?

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.


What mountain ranges was formed by continental continental convergent boundary?

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.


What are convertgent boundaries?

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


Why does Oceania crust sink beneath continental crust at convergent boundaries?

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 near?

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.


Which type of plate boundaries produce volcanoes?

Continental and Oceanic plates.


What combination of boundary type and crust types creates enormous mountains?

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.


What two types of crust are involved at this type of convergent boundary?

The two types of Crust is the Continental Crust and the Oceanic Crust.
