When two continental plates converge:
- A collision zone is formed
- A large mountain range is created as the crusts are pushed upwards, releasing pressure
- Earthquakes can occur due to the collision of the two plates
Original Description:

What is created during this type of convergence is a large group of tall mountains called _______. 3. Since ________ is impossible between two colliding continental plates, 4. ________ is released by pushing the crusts upward and forming the peaks. 5._________ will occur due to the collision of the two plates.

Continental –Continental Collision Guide Questions: What happened to the strips of clay as they were pushed from opposite ends? If the strips of clay represent the Earth’s lithosphere, what do you think is formed in the lithosphere? What other geologic event could take place with this type of plate movement aside from your answer in no. 2? In terms of the consequences on the Earth’s lithosphere, how will you differentiate this type of convergent plate boundary with the other two? Activity 1.5 Head-On Collision Part C.

Explain what happen when the
two continental plates converge. Fill in the missing word to complete the statement below. Choose your answer in the box below.

What is created during this type of convergence is a large group of tall mountains called _______. 3. Since ________ is impossible between two colliding continental plates, 4. ________ is released by pushing the crusts upward and forming the peaks. 5._________ will occur due to the collision of the two plates. KEY CONCEPTS
When two continental plates converge, a collision zone is
formed. During this type of convergence is a large group of tall mountains called mountanin ranges are formed. Since there is no subduction between two colliding continental plates,pressure is released by pushing the crusts upward and forming the peaks. Earthquake may also occur due to the collision of the two plates
