Parallel belts of folded mountains and volcanic mountains
What else can I help you with?
Ocean convergence produces what?
Ocean convergence occurs when two ocean currents come together. This can lead to the uplift of deep water and the formation of upwelling zones, which can bring nutrients to the surface and support marine productivity.
Which feature can be produced at an ocean continental convergence?
continental volcanic arc. :)
What does Ocean continental convergence produce?
Parallel belts of folded mountains and volcanic mountains
Convergence can occur between what types of plates?
Convergence can occur between oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental plates. This process typically leads to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic arcs.
Which feature can be produced at an ocean-continental convergence?

What is the movement of oceanic-continental convergence?
In oceanic-continental convergence, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. This creates a deep ocean trench and can lead to volcanic activity and the formation of mountain ranges on the continental plate. The collision can also cause earthquakes.
Were the Andes mountains formed as a result of ocean continental convergence?
The Andes Mountains :) ***** I would like to add the Himalayas, which rose when the Indian Plate collided with the European plate.
What are the three different types of convergent plate boundaries?
The three types of convergent plate boundaries are oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental. Oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two oceanic plates collide, resulting in the formation of volcanic island arcs. Oceanic-continental convergence happens when an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate, creating volcanic mountain ranges. Continental-continental convergence involves the collision of two continental plates, leading to the formation of large mountain ranges.
What can be produced at an ocean continental convergence?
Ocean-continental convergent boundaries can produce earthquakes and volcanic activity. As the ocean plates shift under each other they near their melting temperature and can form magma and solidify to form underwater mountain ranges.
A collision between two pieces of continental crust at a converging boundary produces a?
Typically continental plate convergence will result in an orogeny event, or a mountain building event. As the plates converge, the crust will deform, but there will be no plate subduction, and so continent to continent convergence is not related to volcanism. Large thrust faults are often associated with continental convergence zones as well.
Which mountains were formed as a result of ocean-continental convergence?
The Andes Mountains in South America and the Cascades Range in North America were formed as a result of ocean-continental convergence. These mountains were created through the subduction of oceanic plates beneath continental plates, leading to the uplift of land and the formation of mountain ranges.
