When are mountains most likely to form at a convergent boundary?

Mountains are most likely to form at a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide, with one plate being forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. The intense pressure and heat generated during this collision cause the crust to deform and uplift, leading to the formation of mountain ranges.


What is a specific example of what forms as a result of a shift in a convergent boundary?

at an oceanic to continental convergent boundary trenches and volcanic mountains can form. at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary trenches and volcanic islands can form. at a continental to continental convergent boundary fold mountains can form


Where is a subductions zone most likely to form?

At a convergent boundary.


What type of boundary form a volcanic mountain range near a coastline?

They form on convergent boundaries.


Where do mountains form?

Well convergent boundaries form mountains, but where do mountains form within the boundary? They start under the ocean and come up when the plates come together. So therfore they form under the ocean.


Which part happens at a convergent plate boundary?

Mountains form, volcanoes can form/erupt, earthquakes can occur. That's all I know sorry.


What causes to form at a convergent plate boundary?
