A conversion boundary is a place where 2 tectonic plates are mving toward each other. There are 3 types of convergent boundaries OCEANIC CRUST-OCEANIC CRUST OCEANIC CRUST-CONTINENTAL CRUST CONTINENTAL CRUST-CONTINENTAL CRUST They are classified according to their crust
1. The Oceanic crust is dense while the Continental crust is relatively lighter. 2. The Oceanic crust consists of Silicon and Magnessium, while the Continental crust has Silicon and Alluminium. 3. The Oceanic crust is thin, while the Continental crust is thick. 4. The Oceanic crust makes up the ocean floor, while the Continental crust carries the continents.
The heavier/denser oceanic plate subducts the lighter, less - dense continental plate.
Trenches and undersea mountains :)
oceanic crust.
The oceanic crust is subducted underneath the continental crust. This process is known as subduction.
Convergent boundaries involve two tectonic plates moving towards each other, resulting in the collision and subsequent formation of mountains or subduction zones. Examples include the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate to create the Himalayas. Divergent boundaries occur when two tectonic plates move away from each other, leading to the upwelling of magma and the formation of mid-ocean ridges. As the plates separate, new crust is formed at the boundary. An example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Transform boundaries involve two tectonic plates sliding past each other horizontally, leading to earthquakes due to the friction between the plates. The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known transform boundary.
Yes
1. Continental crust is thick while Oceanic crust is relatively thinner. 2. Continental crust is lighter while Oceanic crust is relatively denser.
Oceanic crust and continental crust.
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.
