Convergent Boundaries

Convergent boundaries are where...

• Plates collide
• plates separate
• plates slide past each other

Convergent boundaries are where...

• New land is created
• Old land is destroyed (recycled)
• Land is neither created nor destroyed

Convergent boundaries create what landform(s)?

• Mountain ranges
• Trenches
• Volcanic Mountain ranges
• all of the above

All of the following are a type of convergent boundary except...

• oceanic vs oceanic
• oceanic vs continental
• volcanic vs oceanic
• continental vs continental

When 2 oceanic plates collide, which plate subducts into the mantle?

• the younger plate (less dense)
• older plate (more dense)
• neither is dense enough

When an oceanic plate subducts into the mantle, it moves through the _________________, and creates a ___________________ at the top.

• plate zone, mountain
• mantle zone, japan
• subduction zone , trench

When 2 oceanic plates collide, the more dense, older plate subducts into the mantle and melts. The rising magma will form ___________ on the non subducted plate.

• volcanic island chain
• non-volcanic mountain
• slippery slope of destruction

When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, which plate will be more dense and subduct into the mantle?

• oceanic
• continental
• neither is dense enough

When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the more dense plate subducts into the mantle and melts. The rising magma will form ___________ on the non subducted plate.

• non-volcanic moutain chain
• volcanic mountain chain
• slippery slope of mudslides or landslides

When 2 continental plates collide, neither is dense enough to subduct into the mantle. What will be created when these 2 plates collide?

• Volcanic Islands (Japan)
• Volcanic mountain chain (Andes)
• Non-Volcanic mountain chain (Himalayas)
