divergence of continental crust create rift zones e.g.east african rift valley.firstly,divergence will create updoming of the area.after that step faulting will take place and that will result in narrow linear sea formation like red sea.finally separation of land and ocean ridge will occur.
The result of the collision of two continental plates is crustal deformation and mountain building. A typical example is the Himalayas, which are the result of the collision of the Indo-Australian plate with the Eurasian plate. The collision of two plates form a convergent boundary described by the character of the plates involved: continent-continent (above), ocean-continent, ocean-ocean.
Mountains or mountain chains.
mountains, volcanoes, rifts
long fault
No, the oceanic crust is denser. That's why the land areas "float" so much higher than the ocean bedrock.
Ocean trenches and Island arcs.
All major plates contain both continental and oceanic crust except for the Pacific and Nazca plates.
Because the oldest parts reach the continental crust and then the ocean floor sinks beneath the continental crust, into the mantle.
The oceanic crust, or the crust of the earth that is under water, is between 15,840 feet and 31,680 feet thick. The continental crust, or the crust not covered in ocean water, is between 105,600 feet and 158,400 feet thick.

Continental /Oceanic Crust is being formed.
younger
When comparing an oceanic crust and a landform crust, the oceanic crust will be much younger. Typically, an oceanic crust is less than 200 million years old.
From the colliding plates called Plate Tectonics which two continental crust/ two oceanic crust/ continental - oceanic crust will collide then the one that is denser will go in the mantle that we called Subduction after that happens the one continental crust will go upward until volcano will formed that is called Upthrust Faulting. It is either the crust will form mountain or volcano but it depends upon the pressure in the mantle that makes the landform to have a Magma Chamber

what is the continental crust
continental crust
Continental crust is the thicker of the two: it extends far beneath and above the Oceanic crust.
