What are two Ways volcanoes Form near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
When an oceanic plate collides with a oceanic plate?
terranes are attached to the edge of a continent
What are two ways volcanoes can forms near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
What forms when a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate?
it forms a trench
What occurs when a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate and overtakesit?
subduction
When are mountains most likely to form at convergent boundary?
When two continental plates collide or a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate.
What happens when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate and sinks?
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. This creates a deep oceanic trench. As the oceanic plate sinks, it heats up, melts, and forms magma that rises to the surface, leading to volcanic activity.

What occurs when a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate and overtakes it?
When a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate and overtakes it, the denser oceanic plate is forced underneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. This creates a deep ocean trench, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes along the boundary between the two plates. The subduction process can also lead to the formation of mountain ranges on the overriding continental plate.
When an ocean plate collides with a continental plate it does what?
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the denser oceanic plate is subducted beneath the continental plate due to its weight. This subduction can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and seismic activity.
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate which plate is subducted?
When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, the oceanic plate is always subducted. Oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, and they have a higher iron content. Since they are denser, oceanic plates always sink below the continental plate in the event of a collision.
What happens when a plate of oceanic crust collides with a plate of Continetal crust why?
the oceanic crust slides down and burns in the mantle and forms a volcano
