What else can I help you with?
What type of mountain is formed when the earths crust is squeezed together?
It depends on the type of plates coming together but two continental plates will form a mountain chain. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia to form the Himalayas.
What two bodies of continental lithosphere are pulled together at a convergent boundary?
Two bodies of continental lithosphere that are pulled together at a convergent boundary are typically two continental plates. When two continental plates collide, they can create large mountain ranges and undergo intense deformation due to the resistance of their thick and buoyant crust.
Which would subduct if a continental and oceanic plate were to collide with each other?
The oceanic plate would subduct beneath the continental plate. This is because oceanic plates are denser than continental plates due to their composition, so they are more likely to be forced beneath the less dense continental plate.
Where in Earth's crust would you find basalt?
Most basalt is found in the oceanic plates. Most granite is found in the continental plates.
What is the difference between oceanic plate and continential plate?
Oceanic plates are young and made of basalt and recent sediments. Continental plates are old and contain continental crust made of old rocks and they are usually considerably thicker than the oceanic plates
What would happen when plates move together?
they break
What would happen if ocean crust and continental crust combine?
They weld together into new continental crust.
What happens when two continental plates come together?
When two continental plates come together, they can form convergent boundaries where one plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity as the plates interact and collide.

What would two continental plates produce?
it depends on how they hit each other
Can all continents can join together again and when?
It is not physically feasible for all continents to rejoin as they have drifted apart due to the movements of tectonic plates. The process of continental drift takes millions of years to occur, so it would not happen within any foreseeable human timescale.
What occurs where plates with continental crust push together?
When plates with continental crust push together, they form convergent boundaries. The collision results in the crumpling and uplift of the crust, leading to the formation of large mountain ranges like the Himalayas. Subduction may also occur where one plate is forced beneath the other, creating deep oceanic trenches and volcanic activity.
Where in Earth's crust would you find basalt?
Most basalt is found in the oceanic plates. Most granite is found in the continental plates.
What would happen if plates diddnt exist?
We would use tables to eat on and not use plates there it would be no big deal
