When two continental plates collide or a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of plate boundary causes mountains to form?
The plate boundary that causes mountains to form is called a convergent boundary.
What type of plate boundary form of mountains?
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.
What can form when compression squeezes rocks at convergent place boundary?
Mountains
What can form compression squeezes rocks at a convergent place boundary?
Mountains
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.
Do mountains form in the convergent boundary?
Yes, mountains can form at convergent boundaries where two tectonic plates collide. One plate is often forced beneath the other in a process called subduction, resulting in the buckling and uplifting of the Earth's crust, which can eventually lead to the formation of mountain ranges. Examples of mountains formed at convergent boundaries include the Andes in South America and the Himalayas in Asia.
How are mountains chains formed?
When two edges of tectonic plates collide (convergent boundary) they can cause a crumpling effect and an upthrust to form mountains. The Himalayas, for instance, were formed when the Indian Plate crashed into the Asian Plate. Convergent boundary also applies to the situation where one plate moves under the other (subduction) this kind of plate boundary can also form mountain chains. An example of this is the Andes mountains.
