When 2 continental plates diverge what forms?
divergent boundaries
Convergence can occur between what types of plates?

How did a mountain form?
the earth is made up of different plates and all the plates are different sizes, shapes and weight. there are 2 types of plates, oceanic and continental. a mountain is formed when 2 continental plates of the same weight collide into each other, it creates a mountain and the oceanic plates underneath them are pused down.

What is the biggest mountain caused your colliding continental plates?
The Himalayan mountains.
Compare and contrast the three plate boundaries?
Oceanic-continental convergence (when an oceanic plate meets a continental plate) & oceanic-oceanic convergence (2 oceanic plates) both involve oceanic plates & subduction. Continental-continental convergence (2 continental plates) involves neither.
