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.
Why do oceanic plates move under continental plates when the two collide?
Oceanic plates move under continental plates when they converge together because the oceanic plate is more denser than the continental plate.
What can form where two plates converge?
when two plates converge it is called plate tectonics?
What happens if an oceanic to oceanic happens?
When an oceanic to oceanic happens, two oceanic plates converge and one of the plates subducts into a trench. The subducted plate sinks down into the mantle and begins to melt. Molten rock from the plate rises toward the surface and forms a chain of volcanic islands, also called a volcanic island arc, behind the trench in the ocean.
What two plates converge if subduction occurs for a result?
The colliding plate edges become crumpled to form a mountain range.
When two oceanic plates converge what are formed?
subduction zones
Which features form when two oceanic plates converge?
subduction zones
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.

Why do oceanic plates move under continental plates when the two collide?
Oceanic plates move under continental plates when they converge together because the oceanic plate is more denser than the continental plate.
How are divergent plates different from convergent plates?
Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
Are subducting plate and oceanic plate the same?
No. While only oceanic crust can subduct it is not always subducting. When two oceanic plates converge, only one of them subducts.
Plate with oceanic crust sinking under another plate with oceanic crust?
When two oceanic plates or two plates both containing oceanic crust collide or converge, the convergent boundary will form a trench. The plate which has the higher density will plunge beneath the other plate forming 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 type of mountains form at convergent boundaries where to oceanic plates meet?
When two continental plates converge, it results in formation of high mountains such as the Himalayan mountain.
What can happen when two oceanic plates converge and one is subducted into the mantle?
The colliding plate edges become crumpled to form a mountain range.
What can form where two plates converge?
when two plates converge it is called plate tectonics?
