Compare and contrast the three plate boundaries?
Oceanic-continental convergence (when an oceanic plate meets a continental plate) & oceanic-oceanic convergence (2 oceanic plates) both involve oceanic plates & subduction. Continental-continental convergence (2 continental plates) involves neither.
What does the phrase 'the less buoyant plate is subducted' mean?
This means that the cooler, heavier oceanic plate at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary is forced into the mantle - under the hotter, lighter oceanic plate. OR At oceanic to continental boundary the heavier oceanic plate is forced into the mantle under the lighter continental plate.
What are the three different setting of convergent boundaries?
The three types of convergent plate boundaries are Oceanic-Oceanic, Continental-Continental, Continental-Oceanic.
Name two types of tectonic plates?
The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic.
What are the three possible combinations of plate collisions at convergent boundaries?
The three possible combinations would be continental-continental, continental-oceanic, and oceanic-oceanic.
Is Japan continental continental oceanic oceanic or continental oceanic?
Oceanic-Oceanic.
What does continental oceanic collison mean?
is means under the oceanic crust the tectonicplate collide
What 3 types of convergent boundaries exist?
Oceanic-Continental, Oceanic-Oceanic, and Continental-Continental.
What boundary is a syncline in?
Syncline folds are found in Convergent boundaries. (Oceanic - Oceanic, Continental-Continental, Oceanic-Continental)

Compare and contrast the three plate boundaries?
Oceanic-continental convergence (when an oceanic plate meets a continental plate) & oceanic-oceanic convergence (2 oceanic plates) both involve oceanic plates & subduction. Continental-continental convergence (2 continental plates) involves neither.
Examples of where the three types of plate movements occur?
Continental- continental collisions, Continental-oceanic collisions,and Oceanic-oceanic collisions
What does the phrase 'the less buoyant plate is subducted' mean?
This means that the cooler, heavier oceanic plate at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary is forced into the mantle - under the hotter, lighter oceanic plate. OR At oceanic to continental boundary the heavier oceanic plate is forced into the mantle under the lighter continental plate.
What is continental - oceanic?
Its when the oceanic crust and the continental crsut colide together.
What are the possible combinations of plate collisions at convergent boundaries?
The three possible combinations would be continental-continental, continental-oceanic, and oceanic-oceanic.
