How do the mountains that form along an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary differ from those associated with an oceanic continental convergent boundary?

the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.

What do tectonic plates form when they converge?

When tectonic plates converge, they can form various geological features such as mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanoes. This convergent boundary can result in one plate being pushed beneath the other in a process known as subduction.

What type of geologic feature will form two continental plates collide ( Explain)?

Mountain ranges are formed when two continental plates collide. When they converge one plate will be forced slightly under the other one.


In order for a folded mountain to form two plates it must what?

In order for a folded mountain to form, two tectonic plates must collide and push against each other, causing the Earth's crust to buckle and fold. This process, known as orogenesis, typically occurs where two plates converge in a convergent boundary. The rocks in the crust are compressed and pushed upward, forming the folded mountain range over millions of years.


When two continental plates converge a rift valley form?

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