Answer:

When an oceanic (and more dense) plate collides with a continental (less dense) plate, the oceanic plate dives under the continental one. Subduction occurs and mega thrust earthquakes are caused. From the magma remelt, volcanos are created on the edge of the continental plate (e.g. Ring of Fire)When two continental plates collide, neither will subduct, but continental material will start to rise as a new mountain range (e.g. Himalayas)

briefly describe the composition and formation of an accretionary wedge, and explain how it can form a mountain range

Tema [17]

The accretionary wedge is like the accretionary prism and the definition of that is : *a mass of sedimentary material scraped off a region of oceanic crust during subduction and piled up at the edge of the overriding plate (source : dictionary)* and the formation is when two plates crash and one slides under the other one I believe and sand ad sediment go into the little open space between them that give you a wedge. Hope I helped.
