Which type of boundary forms where two continental plates collide?

Geography
1 answer:
svp [43]3 years ago
6 0
Because the rock making up continental plates is generally lighter and less dense than oceanic rock, it is too light to get pulled under the earth and turned into magma. Instead, a collision between two continental plates crunches and folds the rock at the boundary, lifting it up and leading to the formation of mountains and mountain ranges. 

<span>At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.

The answer is 2. <span>Alter the government to bring about reform
</span>
The Arab Spring and the French Revolution were both reactions to a system seen as unjust to the ordinary people of the country.

The citizens of the nations stood together against a dictator, tyrant and an absolute King who did not like to share power and did not believe in the will of the people.

For common people during the French revolution and the Arab Spring, there were few economic opportunities. Freedom of Speech were strictly curtailed and minorities were oppressed. 

Both movements also led to several clashes between government forces and rebels causing hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries.

Till date, the success of both the French Revolution and the Arab Spring highly debated among academics.
