Which plate boundary is responsible for mountain building?
Convergent plate boundaries are responsible for mountain building. Continent-to-continent boundaries build mountains like the Himalayas. Continent-to-ocean boundaries build mountains like the Cascades. The difference is that continent-to-continent convergent boundaries do not produce volcanoes.
Why do continent-continent convergent boundaries produce very tall ranges?
These form when continent lithosphere on one plate collides with another.

Convergent boundaries that produce maintains boundary produces?
Convergent boundaries that produce maintains are called subduction zones.
Do convergent boundaries have trenches?
They do if at least one of the plates is oceanic. If they are both continental, then a mountain range will form.
Which of the plate boundaries can produce earthquakes?
Convergent boundaries.
Which of the above boundaries can produce?
convergent
Which of the above of boundaries can produce volcanoes?
convergent
Which type of plate boundaries produce the most devastating earthquakes?
Convergent plate boundaries.
What can be produced at an ocean-continental convergent boundary?
Ocean-continental convergent boundaries can produce earthquakes and volcanic activity. As the ocean plates shift under each other they near their melting temperature and can form magma and solidify to form underwater mountain ranges.
What type of plate boundary is earthquakes locations?
All boundaries produce seismic activity, however convergent and transform boundaries have the most activity.
Which type of plate boundaries produce volcanoes?
Continental and Oceanic plates.
