What happens during a convergent boundary and what usually forms?

At a convergence boundary during collision of two plates there could either be Subduction or Outcropping. Subduction occurs when the collision involves plates of different types and densities while the other happens when it involves similar plate types. Mountain ranges are formed, also Subduction Zones gives rise to Trenches.

What happens during a covergent plate boundary?
Plate collision.
What kind of land form can be formed by a convergent boundary between two continents?
Mountain Range, example is the Himalayas Mountains in ASIA, formed from collision of Indian with Asia during its northward migration from Gondwanaland.
When a seafloor plate slides under a continental plate during subduction what type of plate boundary its called?
it i called a subduction zone when a plate sinks below another
Why does a detetion mutation usually cause more defect during protein synthesis than point mutation?
Mutation usually causes the entire base sequence to defect. This usually happens during the protein synthesis.
How are reverse fault created?
When rocks move in to each other. When two plates are constantly hitting each other, they form a convergent boundary, which forms a reverse fault. The Compression between these plates (or push) makes one slide above the other. If this happens continuously, one will be above the other, resting on it. This creates a hanging and foot wall.
What happens during a covergent plate boundary?
Plate collision.
Why are earthquakes common near lithospheric plate boundaries?
The plates are either moving past each other (transform boundary), toward each other (convergent boundary) or away from each other (divergent boundary). In some cases when there is a convergent boundary, one plate will be subducted under the other plate. During this process and the process occurring at a transform boundary, the plates don't slide easily past each other because they are jagged. The plates can get locked. Stress continues to build. Eventually, the stress becomes so great that the plates "pop" free. When that happens, there is a tremendous amount of energy released in the form of an earthquake.

What type of movement occurs at each plate boundary?
Two plates can either converge, diverge, or transform. A convergent boundary is when two plates come together, a divergent boundary is when they move apart, and a transform boundary is when two plates slide against each other in opposite directions.
How does a landslide or rockslide happen?
It usually happens after or during an earthquake.
When a seafloor plate slides under a continental plate during subduction what type of plate boundary its called?

What often happens to self esteem during adolescence?
it usually drops
What describes what often happens to self-esteem during adolescence?
it usually drops
What usually happens to valence electrons?
In metals, they are transfered during reactions or thought to be lost during ion formation
What are 2 plates that meet at a convergent boundary?
In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary, also known as a destructive plate boundary (because of subduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries. When two plates move towards one another, they form either a subduction zone or a continental collision. This depends on the nature of the plates involved. In a subduction zone, the subducting plate, which is normally a plate with oceanic crust, moves beneath the other plate, which can be made of either oceanic or continental crust. During collisions between two continental plates, large mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas are formed.
Why does a detetion mutation usually cause more defect during protein synthesis than point mutation?
Mutation usually causes the entire base sequence to defect. This usually happens during the protein synthesis.
What happens if something goes wrong during mitosis?
Usually mutations or possibly death of the cell.
