What type of landform is found at converging continental plates Why?

When two continental plates collide, the crust is thickened, buckled and deformed--gaining elevation. Mountain chains are the result; their creation occurring over periods of millions of years.

Volcanoes are able to form in several different plate-tectonic settings?
The type of tectonics where volcanoes occur are continental rift volcanism, hot spot, and continental volcanic arc. The other tectonics are subduction zones and rift valleys on a continental crust.
Where are tilted blocks of rock commonly found?
where two continental plates collide
What type of faulting is found where two slabs of continental lithosphere are converging?
That's what I'm trying to find out. Can somebody please answer it.! D:
Polder are found in which landform?
Polders are found in North European Lowlands.
Alpine glaciers can be found on which landform?
Alpine glaciers are found in mountain valleys
Is a hot spot found at converging oceanic plates?
Hot spots are usually found away from plate boundaries.
What were the folding and faulting found in rocks of the blue ridge mountains created by?
Collisions Of Continental Plates
Is runny lava found in continental or oceanic plates?
Ocean
Volcanoes commonly form as a result of which two types of collisions?
Volcanoes are usually found where tectonic plates are converging or diverging.

Where in Earth's crust would you find basalt?
Most basalt is found in the oceanic plates. Most granite is found in the continental plates.
What oceanic landform is most likely to be found where two plates are moving away from each other?
Rift Zone
Where are tilted blocks of rock commonly found?
where two continental plates collide
What types of tectonic plate boundaries are volcanoes generally found?
Continental and Oceanic plates.
What type of faulting is found where two slabs of continental lithosphere are converging?
That's what I'm trying to find out. Can somebody please answer it.! D:
Why is oceanic plate denser than continental plate?
Oceanic plates are primarily made up of basaltic rock while continental plates are primarily made of granitic rock. Basalt is denser than granite which allows oceanic plates to subduct beneath continental plates.
What type of crust can be found on the south American plate where it meets the Nazca plates?
Continental crust.
