What forms when continents colide?
Continents collide when tectonic plates collide. For example, let's look at Europe and Africa. Europe is located on the Eurasian Plate while Africa is located on the African Plate. The African Plate is currently colliding with the Eurasian Plate. In the future, this will cause the Mediterranean Sea to disappear and the Mediterranean Mountains will form. When continents collide, mountains are usually formed. In addition, they form a new connected landmass. Tectonic plates can also scrape against each other, which causes an earthquake.
