Question
- matching type: convergent boundaries
continental to oceanic
oceanic to oceanic
continental to continental
a. subduction, volcanoes, and trenches
b. subduction, deeper trenches, volcanoes
c. mountain ranges like the appalachian and himalayas
When two continental - continental plates converge, they push against each other and form mountain ranges like the Appalachian and Himalayas. When an oceanic - oceanic plate converges, one plate subducts beneath the other, creating subduction zones with volcanoes and deep - sea trenches. When a continental - oceanic plate converges, the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate, leading to subduction, volcanoes, and trenches.
