not nescessarily. It could be two plates of any kind rubbing against each other. Sometimes it is two continental plates or one of each.

What Type of plate boundary exists between Indian and Asia?

A Collision plate boundary, where two continental plates that are the same in density and thickness, push against each other forming fold mountains and crumble zones. This causes Earthquakes from the pressure and stress but not volcanoes.


Which plate boundary occurs as continental crust collides with continental crust?

Convergent plate boundaries.


Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.?

In an oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary, an oceanic plate is subducted beneath a continental plate due to differences in density. This process can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs on the continental plate, and earthquakes. The subduction of the oceanic plate can also cause melting of rock, leading to the formation of magma that can erupt as volcanoes on the continental plate.
