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.
When 2 continental plates converge does a rift valley form?
No, when two continental plates converge, they typically do not form a rift valley. Instead, this convergence often leads to the formation of mountain ranges due to the collision and uplift of the plates. Rift valleys are more commonly associated with divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move apart.
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 formed in lithosphere when two continental plates converge?
When two continental plates converge, they can create mountain ranges due to the intense pressure and collision between the plates. This process, known as continental collision, leads to the folding and uplift of the Earth's crust. Examples of mountain ranges formed by this process include the Himalayas, which were created by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. Additionally, seismic activity is common in these regions due to the stress and strain on the crust.
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.
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.
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.
