What would happen if two large plates of granite colided?

If two large plates of granite collided, they would likely experience intense pressure and fracturing along their boundaries, leading to the formation of new faults and earthquakes. The intense pressure and friction between the two plates could also cause some of the granite to melt and re-crystallize, creating metamorphic rocks along the collision zone.


How are divergent plates different from convergent plates?

Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
