The process of an oceanic plate colliding with descending underneath a continental plate?
The answer is subduction.
Are an oceanic plate colliding with a continental plate to form the sierra Nevada mountain range?
An oceanic plate colliding with a continental plate formed the Sierra Nevada. That collision is no longer happening, though, as that oceanic plate. the Farallon Plate, is mostly gone, with remnants to the north and south.
Which type of mountain form because of an oceanic plate and a continental plate colliding?
Fold mountains.
When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate .?
When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the oceanic plate slips under the continental one and into the mantle in a process called subduction. The area will be prone to large earthquakes and tsunamis. A chain of volcanoes will form on the continent.
What mountain range has an oceanic plate and continental plate colliding?
Fold mountains.
The process of an oceanic plate colliding with descending underneath a continental plate?
The answer is subduction.
The process of an oceanic plate colliding with and decending underneath a continental plate?
This is known as subduction.
What happens at a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate?
The oceanic plate usually subsides after colliding with a continental plate.
Convergent boundaries can be divided into 3 categories what are these categories and what geological feature are created by each?
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.

What type of mountain form because of an oceanic plate and a continental plate colliding?
Andean
Which type of mountain form because of an oceanic plate and a continental plate colliding?
Fold mountains.
The process of an oceanic plate colliding with and descending underneath a continental plate?
The oceanic crust is subducted underneath the continental crust. This process is known as subduction.
What ocean plate and continental plate colliding?
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.
Is the Pacific plate and oceanic plate or continental plate?
It is oceanic
What is an example of oceanic-continental convergence?
Andes, convergence between South American Plate and Pacific Plate
