Aleutians: Two oceanic plates
Appalachians: Two continental plates
Andes: One continental plate, one oceanic plate
North American Cordillera: One island plateau, one continental plate
Aleutian mountains are those that form when two oceanic plates collide. The Appalachians formed when two continents collided. Andean-type mountains form when oceanic crust is subducted under continental crust. The North American Cordillera is an example of arc-continent collision, which is when island plateaus join a continent.

Convergent boundaries can be divided into 3 categories what are these categories and what geological feature are created by each?
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.
What occurs where plates with continental crust push together?
Two colliding continental plates will cause an uplift. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia creating the Himalaya mountains.
Where can Igenous rocks be found?
Anywhere you find volcanic activities but usally is on plate boundaries where you find subduction of one plate into another. Usually Continent-Oceanic convergence. the oceanic sink below the continent because the continental plates are less denser than the oceanic plate. you can also find igneous rocks on oceanic-oceanic plates where the form island arc.
What can happen when two oceanic plates converge and one is subducted into the mantle?
The colliding plate edges become crumpled to form a mountain range.
What two types of plates make up the earth?
The two main types of plates are continental plates and oceanic plates. Continental plates are larger, thicker and less dense compared to oceanic plates.

Where do oceanic trenches form?
At the margins of colliding tectonic plates.
What occurs where plates with continental crust push together?
Two colliding continental plates will cause an uplift. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia creating the Himalaya mountains.
Why does the oceanic plate subduct and the continent doesn't?
water puts the Oceanic plates under much more pressure than the air above Continental plates
What process is in animals that are stimulated by the movement of earths continent and oceanic plates?
adaption
What is name of volcano that is caused by two oceanic plates colliding?
Trench volcano, resulting in island arc volcanic mountain chains.
What are the different mountain ranges and their formation?
Himalayas: Continental-continental North American Cordillera: Terrane accretion Aleutian: Oceanic-oceanic Andes: Near an active continental margin _______________________________ Himalayas: Two continents colliding Grand Tetons: Plates spreading Aleutian: Two ocean plates colliding. Andes: Near a subduction zone

Usually Continent-Oceanic convergence. the oceanic sink below the continent because the continental plates are less denser than the oceanic plate. you can also find igneous rocks on oceanic-oceanic plates where the form island arc.
What is the difference between a plate and a continent?
A continent is what floats on top of the plate. There are continental and oceanic plates. The continents float on the continental plate and the ocean sits on the oceanic plate. But there are also plates that carry both continents and oceans. The plates are what causes continental drift. So basically plates are what carry the continents and oceans.
What can happen when two oceanic plates converge and one is subducted into the mantle?
The colliding plate edges become crumpled to form a mountain range.
What can be caused by slipping sliding and colliding of the tectonic plates?
Seismic Activity - Earthquakes or Tremors which in turn can cause can cause oceanic disturbances such as Tsunami's
What type or mountain forms because of two oceanic plates colliding?
Aleutian
