Typically continental plate convergence will result in an orogeny event, or a mountain building event. As the plates converge, the crust will deform, but there will be no plate subduction, and so continent to continent convergence is not related to volcanism. Large thrust faults are often associated with continental convergence zones as well.

Which lens always produces an image that is upright?
Concave lens (diverging) produces an upright image that is virtual. Although to create a real upright image would require 2 convex (converging) lens with a distance of their respective focal lengths between them.
Places where the seafloor is forced under continental plates?
The region where the seafloor is forced beneath the continental plate is called a subduction zone. When the seafloor descends down it produces a deep-ocean trench.
What kind of lens can be used to produce a virtual image?
Convex lens produces both real and virtual images. But concave lens produces only virtual images for real objects. If object is virtual then real image could be produced by a concave lens.
What is the process that produces haploid sex cells?
The process that produces haploid sex cells is mitosis.
Which layer of the earth produces its magnetic field?
The earth's outer core produces the magnetic field.
What happens when two continental plates come together?
When two Continental plates come together, they both collide.This forms mountains.
How are the mountains that are formed by subduction diffrent from mountains formed by continental crusts converging?
Subducting crust produces volcanoes and a narrow range of mountains (like the Andes). Continental convergence does not produce volcanoes and produces a wider range of mountains (Rockies or Himalayas).
What are the two ways plates converge?
There are two basic types of convergent boundary. The first is a subduction zone, which occurs at a collision between two plates carry oceanic crust or one carrying continental and once carrying oceanic crust. In such a collision, one oceanic plate will subduct under the other and sink into the mantle. Such a collision produces volcanoes on the overriding plate and will produce mountain ranges on a continent. The other type of convergent boundary occurs when two continent collide. These collisions produce high mountains but not volcanoes. No subduction occurs as continental crust is not dense enough to sink into the mantle.
The collision of two tectonic plates produces a volcano what types of plates could be involved?
two seafloor plates and a seafloor plate and continental plate
What is the kind of collision produces the greatest force of impact?
Head-on collision produces the greatest force of impact.
What is the outcome of the collision between oceanic and continental crust?
Usually subduction of the denser thinner oceanic crust under the lighter thicker continental crust. This also produces a row of volcanoes in the continental crust producing lava high in water content and resulting in explosive eruptions.
What type of boundary produces shearing stress?
Transform Boundary
What type of boundary produces mountain?
convergent plate boundary
What plate boundary produces new land?
transform boundary
What type of boundary produces strike slip faults?
transform boundary
Which type of boundary produces earthquakes?
the answer to this question is a transform boundary. At a transform boundary plates slide past one another. Because tectonic plates have irregular edges, they grind and jerk as they slide, which produces earthquakes.
What kind of tectonic collision produces volcanoes?
oceanic-continential
