How do the mountains that form along an oceanic oceanic convergent boundary differ from those associated with an oceanic continental convergent boundary?
the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.
What features form where plates converge?
Convergent features:Are similarities that do not indicate relatedness
What happens when 2 oceanic plates and 2 continental plates move towards each other?
when 2 oceanic plates move toward(converge)each other they form a lain of VOLCANIC ISLAND ARC.when 2 continenatl plates move toward(converge)each other they form MOUNTAIN BUILDING.
What type of geologic feature will form two continental plates collide ( Explain)?
Mountain ranges are formed when two continental plates collide. When they converge one plate will be forced slightly under the other one.
What can form where two plates converge?
when two plates converge it is called plate tectonics?
When two continental plates converge a rift valley form?
No. Continental convergent plate boundaries form fold mountain ranges. A rift valley will form at a divergent plate boundary.
When two continental plates converge does a rift valley forms?
No. Continental convergent plate boundaries form fold mountain ranges. A rift valley will form at a divergent plate boundary.

A rift valley can form where two continental plates when they are what?
divide
When continental plates pull apart they form this?
rift valley Answer 2 Continents are formed when continental plates pull apart.
When continental plates pull apart they form?
rift valley Answer 2 Continents are formed when continental plates pull apart.
What features form where plates converge?
Convergent features:Are similarities that do not indicate relatedness
Does a rift valley form when two continental plates diverge?
yes it does
What type of mountains form at convergent boundaries where to oceanic plates meet?
When two continental plates converge, it results in formation of high mountains such as the Himalayan mountain.
What happens when 2 oceanic plates and 2 continental plates move towards each other?
when 2 oceanic plates move toward(converge)each other they form a lain of VOLCANIC ISLAND ARC.when 2 continenatl plates move toward(converge)each other they form MOUNTAIN BUILDING.
If two continental plates converge a subduction zone forms?
False! When two continental plates converge a mountain range is formed. This is what formed and is continuing to "build" the Himalayan mountain chain.Subduction zones form where oceanic crust converges with and is forced under continental crust, or younger more buoyant oceanic crust.
