Best Answer

1. The Andes Mountains, a long string of mountains across the west edge of South America, are a surface feature on the west coast of South America that have apparently formed as a result of collision of the two crustal plates as they line the surface of the border between the oceanic plate and the continental plate. The Andes Mountains are the world's longest exposed mountain range. It is total stretch of 8,900 kilometers (km) long. The range runs parallel to another volcano/ mountain range on the Caribbean sea coast in Venezuela.

What feature is formed when an ocean plate collides with a continental plate?

When an ocean plate collides with a continental plate, a subduction zone occurs and forms a deep trench. An ocean plate is more dense while a continental plate is less dense which causes the ocean plate to go under the continental plate and pull the land and water down, forming a trench.
