When two convergent plate boundaries have equal density, they push against each other and form a mountain chain. Examples of convergent plate boundaries are the western coast of South America and the Himalayan Mountains.
mountains! like Everest and the alps and the rockys...
subduction zones collide together.
No. While only oceanic crust can subduct it is not always subducting. When two oceanic plates converge, only one of them subducts.
False! When two continental plates converge a mountain range is formed. This is what formed and is continuing to "build" the Himalayan mountain chain.Subduction zones form where oceanic crust converges with and is forced under continental crust, or younger more buoyant oceanic crust.
When two continental plates converge, it results in formation of high mountains such as the Himalayan mountain.
The colliding plate edges become crumpled to form a mountain range.
Best Answer:When two plates carrying oceanic crust collide, the resultis that one goes underneath the other - probably causinga tsunami - or an underwater earthquake.

the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.

When an oceanic to oceanic happens, two oceanic plates converge and one of the plates subducts into a trench. The subducted plate sinks down into the mantle and begins to melt. Molten rock from the plate rises toward the surface and forms a chain of volcanic islands, also called a volcanic island arc, behind the trench in the ocean.
Oceanic plates move under continental plates when they converge together because the oceanic plate is more denser than the continental plate.
Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
No. While only oceanic crust can subduct it is not always subducting. When two oceanic plates converge, only one of them subducts.
When two oceanic plates or two plates both containing oceanic crust collide or converge, the convergent boundary will form a trench. The plate which has the higher density will plunge beneath the other plate forming a trench.

the colder,oceanic plate sinks?!?!
