Question

At a continent-continent convergence, -

Answer 1

Answer:

At continent -continent convergence, folded mountains are produced.

Explanation:

• Continental crusts are floating and do not subduct.
• If in this case two continental plates collide with each other, they smash and raise the land to create mountains.
• These mountains which are created are fold mountains. e.g the Himalayas, the Appalachian mountains etc.
• Sometimes continental convergence cause massive earth quakes.
• Since the continental crust is quite thick it is far away from mantle and hence magma cannot come to the surface . Thus, no volcanoes are formed.
