Question
plate tectonics: convergent bounda... formation of mountain ranges, and one outstanding example is the himalayan mountains. these peaks are still rising today and hold a remarkable secret - fossils of ancient sea creatures! this discovery suggests that the area was once submerged under a much deeper ocean or sat at a lower elevation. what geological features are typically formed at continent - continent convergent boundaries? mountain ranges rift valleys oceanic trenches
At continent - continent convergent boundaries, the two continental plates collide. Since they have similar densities, neither plate is subducted. Instead, the crust is pushed upwards and folded, leading to the formation of mountain ranges. Rift valleys form at divergent boundaries and oceanic trenches form at ocean - continent or ocean - ocean convergent boundaries where subduction occurs.
