What happens at a convergent plate boundary between two Continental plates?

When a continental plate collides with another continental plate, fold mountain ranges will be created. However, there would be no volcanoes, or at least very rarely not. One typical example of this process is the Himalayas.

The two plates collide going up and forming mountains.

What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
What happens at a ocean ocean convergent boundary?
At an ocean ocean convergent boundary, there will be a formation of volcanoes.
Are the Himalayas an example of a continental- continental convergent plate boundary?
Although they aren't common, yes, transform faults can give rise to mountains. Most transform faults take place between oceanic crust, but an easy-to-see example is that of the San Andreas Fault giving rise to the San Gabriel Mountains.
What happens in oceanic oceanic convergent boundary?
Either plates gets subducted which is usually the older plate.
What happens when convergent plate movement occur?
A convergent boundary of two plates will push together. If it is two continental crusts, then they will both push upward, forming mountains. If it is a continental crust pushing against an oceanic crust, then the oceanic crust will go underneath, melt, and be recycled because the oceanic crust is less dense than the continental crust.
What happens at a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate?
The oceanic plate usually subsides after colliding with a continental plate.

What happens when two continental plates come together?
When two Continental plates come together, they both collide.This forms mountains.
What happens between oceanic and continental plates at convergent boundaries?
Convergent boundary+oceanic plate=subduction because the oceanic plate is more dense causing it to subduct down back to the mantle.
What happens at a ocean ocean convergent boundary?

What happens at a oceanic oceanic convergence?
At an ocean ocean convergent boundary, there will be a formation of volcanoes.
What is a continental-continental convergent boundary?
A continental slide is the new crust on the earth surface. It happens when two plates below the earth surfaces meets and the boundary became deep trenches.
