What would happen to mantle convection currents beneath a continental-continental convergent boundary?
The mantle convection currents beneath a continental convergent boundary will heat up and rise. They are heading toward each other, therefore, causing the two continents to collide.
How does a ocean plate go under a continental plate?
The plates are moved by convection currents in the mantle. Oceanic plates are mainly composed of basalt or chemically similar rocks. These are more dense than most of the rocks of continental plates so, when the two collide, the denser plate will be overridden by the other and subducted.
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 two types of layers make up the crust?
lithosphere and mesosphere i prob spell these wrong so look them up
What would a change in the core of the earth effect most?
I am taking a test and I decided which answers were deffinitly not the right answer, and had to pick between two. I guessed right, the answer was "convection currents in the mantle"..... Hope this helps you out..........

What are two layers of earth in which convection currents takes place?
dont known tell me
What are two layers in the Earth in which convection currents take place?
Mantle is one, and I'm gonna guess core.
Is the sun the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle?
The heat in the Earth's interior comes from two main sources: the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust and the primordial heat left over from the formation of the Earth.
Does the grand canyon reach to the mantle?
Not even close. It goes down less than two kilometers into the continental crust, over thirty kilometers away from the upper reaches of the mantle. The bottom of the ocean is far closer to the mantle.
What the lithosphere contains?
Earth contains a lithosphere that contains the crust and the mantle. There are two types of lithospheres on earth which are the oceanic and the continental.
What is two neighboring plates move toward each other?
it is a convergent boundary. it is caused by the convection currents in the mantle of the earth's core. this stress is called compression
Where do valcanoes come from?
From the colliding plates called Plate Tectonics which two continental crust/ two oceanic crust/ continental - oceanic crust will collide then the one that is denser will go in the mantle that we called Subduction after that happens the one continental crust will go upward until volcano will formed that is called Upthrust Faulting. It is either the crust will form mountain or volcano but it depends upon the pressure in the mantle that makes the landform to have a Magma Chamber
What type of geologic feature will form where 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 are the two parts of the mantle?
The upper mantle and the lower mantle.
