Convergence can occur between what types of plates?
1. oceanic-continental 2. oceanic-oceanic 3. continental-continental
How did a mountain form?
the earth is made up of different plates and all the plates are different sizes, shapes and weight. there are 2 types of plates, oceanic and continental. a mountain is formed when 2 continental plates of the same weight collide into each other, it creates a mountain and the oceanic plates underneath them are pused down.
