What landforms are created by compression?

Landforms created by compression include fold mountains like the Himalayas, fault-block mountains such as the Sierra Nevada, and reverse faults that form during continental collisions. These landforms result from the Earth's crust being pushed together, causing rocks to deform and create uplifted structures.

What is produced at continental continental convergent boundaries?

At continental-continental convergent boundaries, large mountain ranges are produced due to the collision of two continental plates. The intense pressure and heat generated during the collision can also lead to the formation of deep crustal roots and high-pressure rocks. These boundaries can also trigger earthquakes and volcanic activity.
