What two bodies of continental lithosphere are pulled together at a convergent boundary?

i dont know for sure, but i would guess that it creates a subduction zone with the continental lithosphere on top and the oceanic lithosphere subsiding.

These form when two continental plates push together?
convergent boundary
What boundary is it where two plates push together?
An area where two tectonic plates collide is called a boundary. There are three kinds of boundaries. They are convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries.
Explain what is happening at a convergent plate boundary?
what is happening at a convergent plate boundary is the two plates are coming together and forming mountains.
Why are convergent plate boundary's called convergent?
At convergent boundaries plates come together. In other words, they converge.
A type of plate boundary where two plate come together?
Convergent plate boundary.
What is the type of plate boundary where two plates move together causig one of the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath an overriding plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.
These form when two continental plates push together?
convergent boundary
What is a continental convergence?
A continental-continental convergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move against together, creating folded mountain ranges.
What happens when two continental plates come together?
When two Continental plates come together, they both collide.This forms mountains.
Places where tectonic plates come together?
Places where plates crash or crunch together are called convergent boundaries.
Define Convergent Boundary?
In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary also known as a destructive plate boundary (because of subduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.
Where do plates move together?
convergent boundary
What is the difference between convergent boundary and convergent plate boundary?
Convergent means where plates are moving together. Divergent means where plates are moving apart.
Im the place where older crust is destroyed because two plates converge or push together?
The place where two plates converge is called a convergent boundary. This results in a subduction zone where the heavier oceanic lithosphere is consumed into the mantle.
What kind of boundary do tectonic plates move together?
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
What is happening at a convergent plate boundary?
what is happening at a convergent plate boundary is the two plates are coming together and forming mountains.
What boundary is it where two plates push together?
An area where two tectonic plates collide is called a boundary. There are three kinds of boundaries. They are convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries.
