What else can I help you with?
What forms at continental-continental plate boundries?
Mountains
What does the collision of a continental plate and an oceanic plate produce?
when two plates collide they form trenches.
Are mountains found on the continental plate?
Yes
What are the types of collisions that happen at convergent boundaries?
Subduction (where one plate is forced beneath another less dense plate - may occur at oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental boundaries), obduction (where oceanic plate is forced over a continental plate) and orogenesis where two continental plates collide and mountains are formed (e.g. the Himalayas).
What occurs when a continental and an ocean plate collide?
The oceanic plate goes under the continental plate and into the mantle in a process known as subduction. This results in the formation of mountains and volcanoes on the continental plate.
Could the Himalaya mountains be formed into a continental-continental convergence?
The Himalayas are formed from a continental to continental plate convergence.
How was the Andes Mountains and Cascade Mountains most likely formed?
A convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate.
Where does oceanic continental convergence occur country state continent?
The Andes Mountains in western South America are a result of an oceanic-continental convergence of lithospheric plates. It would occur anywhere that an oceanic plate and a continental plate are moving toward each other.
When are mountains most likely to form at convergent boundary?
When two continental plates collide or a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate.
Where is the only place on Earth where there is continental - continental convergence?
Where the Indian-Australian Plate Meets the Eurasian Plate. This is along the Himalayan Mountains.
What Continental Plate does the Rocky mountains sit on?
north American
What continental plate do the Rocky mountains sit on?
The Rocky Mountains are on the North American plate.
