At a continental-continental convergence, two tectonic plates carrying continental crust collide, leading to the uplift of land and the formation of mountain ranges. This process can result in intense seismic activity and the creation of complex geological structures. Unlike oceanic-continental convergence, there is no subduction, as both plates are buoyant, leading to a compressional environment. Notable examples include the Himalayas, formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.

What is the rate of convergence for the bisection method?

The rate of convergance for the bisection method is the same as it is for every other iteration method, please see the related question for more info. The actual specific 'rate' depends entirely on what your iteration equation is and will vary from problem to problem. As for the order of convergance for the bisection method, if I remember correctly it has linear convergence i.e. the convergence is of order 1. Anyway, please see the related question.
