30 Οκτ 2024 · Figure 2.6.9 2.6. 9: Subduction of an oceanic plate beneath a continental plate, forming a trench and volcanic arc. Oceanic-continental subduction occurs when an oceanic plate dives below a continental plate. This convergent boundary has a trench and mantle wedge and frequently, a volcanic arc.

- 5.17: Continent-Continent Convergent Plate Boundaries
Convergent boundaries occur between oceanic-oceanic lithosphere, oceanic-continental lithosphere, and continental-continental lithosphere. The geologic features related to convergent boundaries vary depending on crust types. Plate tectonics is driven by convection cells in the mantle.
11 Ιαν 2021 · Compare and contrast these two types of convergent plate boundaries: (1) continent-continent, and (2) ocean-continent. What causes mountain ranges to rise at convergent plate boundaries? How did the Appalachian Mountains form?
Convergent plate boundaries are locations where lithospheric plates are moving towards one another. The plate collisions that occur in these areas can produce earthquakes, volcanic activity, and crustal deformation.
24 Αυγ 2024 · Convergent plate boundaries. Let’s first look at convergent plate boundaries, which can be broken down into three subcategories, depending on the type of crusts involved. Recall that oceanic crust (basaltic) is denser than continental rock (granitic).
28 Αυγ 2024 · • When two tectonic plates move toward each other and collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. • There are three types of convergent boundaries: oceanic-oceanic boundaries, oceanic-continental boundaries, and continental-continental boundaries.
Continent-continent convergent boundaries are also referred to as continent-continent collision zones. These form when two continental plates collide. The lead up to having two continents meet in this way always starts with an ocean-continent subduction zone.
