What type os mountains form at convergent boundaries where two oceanic plates meet?
continental arc
What is the place called where two plates meet?
The Plate Boundaries. It could be called the plate boundary, plate edge, or continental divide. With tectonic plates, they meet at the fault line.
What are plate boundraries?
Plate boundaries are where two plates of continental or oceanic meet and form a monutain range, trench, etc.
Convergent boundary with no subduction?
A convergent boundary with no subduction is a continental-continental boundary. Because oceanic crust is denser than continental crust, it is always the subducting plate in a oceanic-continental boundary. In an oceanic-oceanic boundary, one of the plates will subduct, depending on several factors. Continental plates are thicker and less dense than oceanic plates, and when they converge, they push up the area where the plates meet, forming mountain ranges (note that this is not the only, or even the predominant, method of mountain formation). The Himalayas are being formed as a result of a continental-continental boundary.
What is the difference between the thickness of the continetal crust and oceanic crust?
In technical terms, the oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust so when the continental crust and the oceanic crust meet the continental crust will sink under and the oceanic crust will slide over and a volcano will be formed as well as producing earthquakes in the process.
