they over lap and cause mountains and hills
Folded mountains are produced
What else can I help you with?
How do the mountains that form along an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary differ from those associated with an oceanic continental convergent boundary?
the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.
What major landform is made when two continental plates converge?
When two continental plates converge, a major landform created is a mountain range. The intense pressure and collision between the plates causes the Earth's crust to uplift, forming large mountain ranges such as the Himalayas or the Alps.
Do earthquakes only happen where plates converge?
no, earthquakes mainly happen when two plates crash each other or one plates goes under the other.
What type of geologic feature will form two continental plates collide ( Explain)?
Mountain ranges are formed when two continental plates collide. When they converge one plate will be forced slightly under the other one.
True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
What is it called when two continental plates collide pushing the continental crust up to form mountains?
This process is called continental collision, and it typically results in the formation of mountain ranges. When two continental plates converge, neither plate is subducted due to their buoyancy, leading to the uplift of the crust. This phenomenon is exemplified by the collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates, which created the Himalayas.
If two continental plates converge a subduction zone forms?
False! When two continental plates converge a mountain range is formed. This is what formed and is continuing to "build" the Himalayan mountain chain.Subduction zones form where oceanic crust converges with and is forced under continental crust, or younger more buoyant oceanic crust.
Place where older crust is destroyed because two plates converge or push together?
continental-continental collision I think. When I got down to the last one, that was the only answer left.
When two continental plates converge a rift valley form?
No. Continental convergent plate boundaries form fold mountain ranges. A rift valley will form at a divergent plate boundary.
When two continental plates converge does a rift valley forms?
No. Continental convergent plate boundaries form fold mountain ranges. A rift valley will form at a divergent plate boundary.
How are divergent plates different from convergent plates?
Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
When converging two continental plates is it possible to form a volcano?
Yes, when two continental plates converge, they can create a subduction zone where one plate is forced under the other, leading to the melting of rock and the formation of magma. This magma can rise to the surface, leading to the formation of a volcanic arc and volcanoes.
