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.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) w = 98°

b) x = 137°

Explanation:

The reason is that they are angles at a point

Which means they are equal to 360°.

Example;

a) 165° + 97° + w = 360°

262° + w = 360°

You then group like terms

w = 360° - 262°

w = 98°
