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 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.


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.


What is the collision of two plates causes the formation of?

The collision of two tectonic plates can lead to the formation of various geological features, depending on the types of plates involved. When two continental plates converge, they can create mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas. If an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, subduction occurs, leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. Additionally, the collision can result in earthquakes due to the immense stress and friction between the plates.


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.

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.


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 kind of feature results when a continental plate converges with another continental plate?

When two continental plates converge, they can create large mountain ranges due to the intense pressure and folding of the Earth's crust. This process is known as continental collision and can result in the formation of features like the Himalayas where the Indian plate collided with the Eurasian plate.


What is the result when continental plates meet oceanic plates?

If the plates are moving toward each other, the more dense oceanic plate will subduct underneath the less dense continental plate. Mountain ranges and volcanism may result as the water saturated subducting oceanic crust creates molten rock which attempts to rise to the surface.


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 does a rift valley forms?

No. Continental convergent plate boundaries form fold mountain ranges. A rift valley will form at a divergent plate boundary.


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.
