What occurs with plates when continental crust is pushed together?
An earthquake happens then a fault line is made
What are convertgent boundaries?
A conversion boundary is a place where 2 tectonic plates are mving toward each other. There are 3 types of convergent boundaries OCEANIC CRUST-OCEANIC CRUST OCEANIC CRUST-CONTINENTAL CRUST CONTINENTAL CRUST-CONTINENTAL CRUST They are classified according to their crust
Why are continental plates less dense than oceanic plates kids answer?
Continental crust and continental crust are made of different types of rock. The rocks in the continental crust do not contain as many of the heavier elements as the ones in the oceanic crust do.
What is the process of a oceanic plate colliding with a continental plate?
Its when the oceanic crust and the continental crsut colide together.
Why do convergent oceanic plates subduct but continental plates do not usually respond in this way?
Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust, dense enough to sink into the mantle. Continental crust is not dense enough to do this.
What occurs with plates when continental crust is pushed together?

What occurs where plates with continental crust push together?
Two colliding continental plates will cause an uplift. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia creating the Himalaya mountains.
You occur where plates with continental crust push together?
The subduction
Definition of continental plates?
Tectonic plates (or continental plates) are pieces of Earth's crust and uppermost mantle, together referred to as the lithosphere.

Which plate boundary destroys crust?
Crust is destroyed at the convergent plate boundary. This is usually between the oceanic and continental plates. This is where subduction of the more dense crust occurs.
Why are continental plates less dense than oceanic plates kids answer?
Continental crust and continental crust are made of different types of rock. The rocks in the continental crust do not contain as many of the heavier elements as the ones in the oceanic crust do.
Do tectonic plates consist of continental or oceanic crust?
They can be either continental or oceanic crust.
What is the process of a oceanic plate colliding with a continental plate?
Its when the oceanic crust and the continental crsut colide together.
Why do convergent oceanic plates subduct but continental plates do not usually respond in this way?
Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust, dense enough to sink into the mantle. Continental crust is not dense enough to do this.
List all the plates that have no continental crust?
No!
What is layer has the oceanic and continental plates?
The crust.
