How does earthquake plate movement relate to mountain building?
When two plates of the earth's crust move together, they smash and build up, creating a mountain. This takes a while, but scientists have found seashells on top of mountains before, and it's because that the mountain was once under water and part of the sea floor. When this happens, the plates grind together making an earthquake. Hope this helps you out. :)
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.
