A delta forms when the sediment from one area is brought to another area by a river after being eroded. The river will deposit the sediment at the mouth of the river, forming the delta.

What landforms form at a continental and oceanic divergent plate boundary?

The landforms that could develop at a continental and oceanic divergent plate boundary includes; Rifts and Volcanic Mountains.


What is a specific example of what forms as a result of a shift in a convergent boundary?

at an oceanic to continental convergent boundary trenches and volcanic mountains can form. at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary trenches and volcanic islands can form. at a continental to continental convergent boundary fold mountains can form


What do convergent plate boundary form?

Convergent plate boundaries can occur as a continental-continental, continental-oceanic, or oceanic-oceanic crust collision. A continental-continental collisions will typically result in a mountain range formation, such as the Himalayan Mountain Range. A continental-oceanic converging plate boundary will result in the more dense oceanic crust subducting beneath the less dense continental crust. The subduction zone leads to volcano formation from melting rock within the asthenosphere, beneath the continental crust. An example of this boundary is the west coast of the United States. An oceanic-oceanic converging plate boundary will typically result in one oceanic slab "sliding" beneath the other, due to only slight differences in density. This may form a volcanic island arc on the ocean floor, but may not necessarily reach above sea level.


Is continental collision a type of convergent boundary?

Yes. It is a convergent boundary where both masses consist of continental crust.

What does a convergant boundary form?

There are three types of convergent boundaries: Oceanic, continental, and continental-oceanic convergent boundaries. Continental-continental convergent boundaries form mountain ranges. Continental-oceanic boundaries result in subduction zones and the recycling of lithosphere. The continental side of the boundary may form a mountain range. Oceanic-oceanic form deep oceanic trenches and sometimes volcanoes.

No. Continental convergent plate boundaries form fold mountain ranges. A rift valley will form at a divergent plate boundary.
