Where ocean and continents meet
ocean-continent convergence
The Southern Ocean encircles the continent of Antarctica. It is the fourth-largest ocean and is defined by its unique boundaries, including the Antarctic Convergence and the 60° S latitude line.
The Andes Mountains :) ***** I would like to add the Himalayas, which rose when the Indian Plate collided with the European plate.
folded mountains are produced
Where ocean and continents meet
Folded mountains form
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.
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.
Mountains produced at continent-continent convergence are called fold mountains. These mountains are formed when two continental plates collide and the rocks are compressed, folded, and uplifted to form large mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas.
