Do folded mountains form at convergent boundaries where two plates collide?
Yes, because of the huge compressional forces when two plates collide. This can happen at either a continental-continental boundary or a continental-oceanic boundary.
How do volcano's form when oceanic and continental plates collide?
Mountains form where continental and oceanic plates collide by the actions of the plates upon one another. Often one plate pushes up and over the other one, and the upper one creates a row of mountains.
Why do oceanic plates dive underneath continental plates when they collide?
this is because the oceanic plate is much denser than the continental plate so when they collide the oceanic plate will sink easily
Why do oceanic plates move under continental plates when the two collide?
Oceanic plates move under continental plates when they converge together because the oceanic plate is more denser than the continental plate.
When ocean plates collide with continental plates the denser oceanic plate?
sinks
When two continental plates collide what happens?
When two continental plates collide they form mountains .
What does the collision of a continental plate and an oceanic plate produce?
when two plates collide they form trenches.

When are mountains most likely to form at convergent boundary?
When two continental plates collide or a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate.

sinks
When continental plates collide what happens to the oceanic crust between them?
When the continental plates collide the oceainc cust gets stuck and eventually evaporates
What is a oceanic continental convergent?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
When continental plates collide what can be created?
Mountains
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
