What else can I help you with?
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 structures are created at each type of convergent boundaries?
Convergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates hit each other. This can cause earthquakes, but can also create mountains.
Do divergent boundaries cause the formation of mountains?
No, divergent boundaries do not cause the formation of mountains. Instead, mountains are typically formed at convergent boundaries where tectonic plates collide. Divergent boundaries are where plates move away from each other, creating rifts and oceanic ridges.
What are the three types of convergent plate boundries?
The three types of convergent boundaries are when two plates meet and two oceanic plate meet, or where an oceanic and continental plate meet.the three types of convergent boundaries are continent boundaries , continent - ocean boundaries, and last but not least............. ocean boundaries
Are convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading related in any way?
Yes, convergent boundaries and sea-floor spreading are related in the sense that sea-floor spreading can occur at divergent boundaries (where tectonic plates move apart), leading to the creation of new oceanic crust. This new oceanic crust can then be consumed at convergent boundaries (where tectonic plates collide), as one plate is subducted beneath the other.
What types of mountains form at convergent boundaries where two oceanic plates meet?
volcanic mountains

What two different types of convergent boundaries occur?
Oceanic-continental convergent boundaries occur when oceanic plates subduct beneath continental plates, creating deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries occur when two oceanic plates collide, leading to one plate subducting beneath the other and forming volcanic island arcs.
Are volcanic mountains located on convergent boundaries?
Yes, some volcanic mountains are located on convergent boundaries where oceanic plates subduct beneath continental plates or other oceanic plates. The subduction process generates intense heat and pressure, leading to the melting of rock and the formation of magma that eventually erupts as volcanoes.
what structures are created at each type of convergent boundaries?
Convergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates hit each other. This can cause earthquakes, but can also create mountains.
How was the Andes mountain range formed?
The Andes Mountains were formed through subduction of the oceanic plate underneath the South American plate.
Do divergent boundaries cause the formation of mountains?
No, divergent boundaries do not cause the formation of mountains. Instead, mountains are typically formed at convergent boundaries where tectonic plates collide. Divergent boundaries are where plates move away from each other, creating rifts and oceanic ridges.
Convergent boundaries are classified according to the?
Convergent boundaries are classified according to the type of tectonic plates involved. There are three main types of convergent boundaries: oceanic-continental, oceanic-oceanic, and continental-continental. The classification is based on whether the plates involved are oceanic or continental and the resulting geological features that are formed.
What are the three types of convergent plate boundries?
The three types of convergent boundaries are when two plates meet and two oceanic plate meet, or where an oceanic and continental plate meet.the three types of convergent boundaries are continent boundaries , continent - ocean boundaries, and last but not least............. ocean boundaries
How are divergent plates different from convergent plates?
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
What are the three types of convergent?
The three types of convergent boundaries are when two plates meet and two oceanic plate meet, or where an oceanic and continental plate meet.the three types of convergent boundaries are continent boundaries , continent - ocean boundaries, and last but not least............. ocean boundaries
What types of plate boundaries have subduction zone?
Convergent boundaries can form between two oceanic plates, between one oceanic plate and one continental plate, or between two continental plates.
