Question
plate tectonics: convergent boundaries. while new crust is continually formed through upwelling from the mantle at divergent boundaries, older crust is simultaneously melted and recycled at convergent boundaries. a heavier, more dense tectonic plate collides with a lighter, less dense plate. what kind of boundary is this describing? oceanic - oceanic convergence oceanic - continent convergence continent - continent convergence
Oceanic plates are denser than continental plates. When a denser oceanic plate collides with a less - dense continental plate, it is oceanic - continent convergence.
