3 what type of mountains form at convergent boundaries where two oceanic plates meet?
5453
At a convergent plate boundary, when one plate is oceanic, there are large volcanoes. These volcanoes are found in lines that outline the subduction zone.

The Andes Mountain Range of western South America is another example of a convergent boundary between an oceanic and continental plate. Here the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American plate.

The Cascade Mountain Range is a line of volcanoes above the melting oceanic plate. The Andes Mountain Range of western South America is another example of a convergent boundary between an oceanic and continental plate.

If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. ... When two plates are moving away from each other, we call this a divergent plate boundary. Along these boundaries, magma rises from deep within the Earth and erupts to form new crust on the lithosphere.

These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide. These are also known as compressional or destructive boundaries. Subduction zones occur where an oceanic plate meets a continental plate and is pushed underneath it.

Covers ocean-ocean and ocean-continent convergent plate boundaries, including the creation of volcanic arcs and earthquakes.

-Actually the student is modeling a convergent plate boundary. The image shows the plates colliding to form a mountain-like structure.

Volcanoes and Mountains In areas where oceanic plates collide with continental plates, volcanoes often form, like the volcanoes that circle the Pacific Ocean called the Ring of Fire.

Along this divergent plate boundary are volcanoes such as Mount Nyiragongo, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Mount Kilimanjaro, in Kenya. At a convergent plate boundary, tectonic plates move toward one another and collide.

Aleutian-type mountains form when oceanic plates collide. The Himalayas formed when two continents collided. The Grand Tetons are the best example of fault-block mountains. Andean-type mountains form near subduction zones.

This is a special type of convergent boundary called a collisional boundary. The Himalayas in India are the result of two continental plates (the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates) colliding head on. The third type of plate boundary is called a conservative or transform boundary.

The Formation of Fold Mountains Form along both destructive and collision plate boundaries, in other words where two plates are pushing towards each other. The best examples are the Himalayas, the Rockies, the Andes and the Alps, all of which are huge fold mountain ranges caused by the collision of two plates.

The location where two plates meet is called a plate boundary. Plate boundaries are commonly associated with geological events such as earthquakes and the creation of topographic features such as mountains, volcanoes, mid-ocean ridges, and oceanic trenches.

Deep ocean trenches, volcanoes, island arcs, submarine mountain ranges, and fault lines are examples of features that can form along plate tectonic boundaries. Volcanoes are one kind of feature that forms along convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide and one moves beneath the other.

Volcanoes, mountain ranges and earthquakes are all formed by convergent boundaries although some volcanoes and earthquake are also produced by divergent boundary, while other earthquake are produced by transform fault boundary.
