What are the three subtypes of convergent plate boundaries and give examples of types of landmass formed at each boundary?
The three subtypes of convergent plate boundaries are oceanic-continental, oceanic-oceanic, and continental-continental. At oceanic-continental boundaries, such as the Nazca Plate subducting beneath the South American Plate, volcanic mountain ranges like the Andes are formed. At oceanic-oceanic boundaries, like the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate, island arcs such as the Aleutian Islands are created. Finally, at continental-continental boundaries, such as the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate, large mountain ranges like the Himalayas are formed.
What else can I help you with?
A landmass not as large as a continent surrounded by water?
This landmass is likely an island or a group of islands located in the ocean. Examples of such landmasses include Japan, New Zealand, and the British Isles.
What is a landmass surrounded by water on the 3 sides?
A landmass surrounded by water on three sides is called a peninsula. Examples include the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) and the Korean Peninsula (North and South Korea).
Do plate boundaries coincide with continental boundaries?
the Mid-Ocean Ridge.Sometimes plate boundaries coincide with those of the continental landmass, the majority do not. Subduction zones such as those around the Pacific are located offshore and influence the shape of South America - the Chile-Peru trench, Alaska, Japan etc. In the Atlantic it is the opening of the Atlantic that is mirrored by South America and Africa, whilst the Mediterranean Sea is dying as Africa slowly pushes into Europe.
What is a term for a very large landmass?
A large landmass is commonly referred to as a continent.
When the continental plates pull apart at the divergent boundary on land what forms?
When continental plates pull apart at a divergent boundary on land, it can lead to the formation of rift valleys. Magma rises to the surface creating new crust, which can eventually separate the landmass into two distinct plates. Over time, this process can create new ocean basins if the divergence continues.
What is the definition for accreted terran?
a piece of lithosphere that becomes part of a larger landmass when tectonic plats collide at a convergent boundary
A piece of lithosphere that becomes part of a larger landmass when tectonic plates collide at a convergent boundary?
I'm pretty sure this is the answer. High mountain ranges form
What is the Steep boundary between the continental landmass and the ocean basin?
the answer to the question is: continental slope
What continent is on the same landmass as Europe?
Asia is the continent that shares the same landmass with Europe. Europe and Asia are technically part of the same landmass known as Eurasia due to the lack of a strict geographical boundary between them.
Which two continents share a single landmass?
Europe and Asia share a single landmass, connected by the land boundary between the two continents at the Ural Mountains in Russia. These continents are sometimes referred to together as Eurasia.
What is the name for continents in one landmass surrounded by gigantic ocean?
the name for continents in one landmass surrounded by gigantic ocean
What is the area of landmass of India and what is its land boundary?
The area of landmass of India is 3.28 million square km. India has a land boundary of about 15,200 km and the total length of the coastline of the mainland including Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshwadeep is7,516.6 km.
