What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
When oceanic and continental plates collide, the oceanic plate is usually forced under the continental plate in a process called subduction. This can result in the formation of mountain ranges on the continental plate and can lead to the creation of volcanic arcs. The collision can also cause earthquakes and tsunamis.
What is it called when two plates collide?
Convergent boundary
What is it called when two plates collide forming a mountain?
I think that when two continental plates collide it's called a collision margin, the mountains that then form are called fold mountains :)
What boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?
It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).
When are mountains most likely to form at a convergent boundary?
Mountains are most likely to form at a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide, with one plate being forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. The intense pressure and heat generated during this collision cause the crust to deform and uplift, leading to the formation of mountain ranges.

What type of boundary is formed when plates collide?
When plates collide it is called a convergent boundary.newtest3

Convergent boundary
When huge sections of the Earth collide what do they produce?
The huge sections are called tectonic plates. When they collide this is called a convergent boundary. Usually one plate is oceanic and one is continental, and the oceanic plate is forced down in a subduction zone. This forces the continental plate up, giving rise to mountains and often volcanoes.
What is it called when two tectonic plates colide?
It's referred to as a Convergent Boundary If 2 Continental Plates --> Mountains If 2 Oceanic Plates --> Subduction of Heavier (older) Plate If Continental-Oceanic --> Oceanic Plate slides under the Continental Plate (Subduction of Oceanic)

A boundary where two plates meet and collide forming mountains is called a?
A boundary where two plates meet and collide forming mountains is called a convergent boundary. It is also known as destructive plate boundary.
What is a continental rift also called?
continental plate? divergent boundary? convergent boundary? continental drift?

What type of mountain forms because of an oceanic plate and a continental plate coliding'?
When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, it results in the formation of a mountain range called a continental-continental convergent boundary. This collision results in intense folding and faulting of the Earth's crust, leading to the uplift of mountain ranges such as the Himalayas.
