∙ 13y agoThere are 3 major types of plate boundaries. There are convergent, divergent and transform. there are also 3 types of convergent boundaries- oceanic to oceanic crust plate boundaries, oceanic to continental, and continental to continental. convergent boundaries give you trenches and mountain ranges (some volcanic), divergent boundaries make mountain ranges, and transform boundaries (which are continental crust pieces sliding up against each other) give you earthquakes

Why are some mountains forming at non plate bounderies?
A number of fault block mountains form in areas that are undergoing stretching.
What plate boundaries are where the crust forms?
new crust forms at divergint bounderies where plates move apart magma oozes up and cools down and creates new crust and the old crust moves away and sucks in the earth
How many crustal plates are there?
There are fourteen crustal plates. They all move at different speeds and in different directions.There are three types of plate boundaries; Divergent, Convergent Bounderies, and and transform faults.
What plate collisions would most likely result in the formation of the most extensive mountain ranges?

What does convergent bounderies mean?
Convergent boundaries are tectonic plate boundaries, where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
