Question
what geologic feature/event would you most likely to find at a convergent boundary between two pieces of continental crust? mountain volcano island arc rift
When two continental crusts converge, they collide. Since continental crust is less dense and buoyant, it doesn't subduct. Instead, the collision causes the crust to buckle, fold, and uplift, forming mountains. Volcanoes are more common at subduction zones (e.g., oceanic - continental convergence where magma is generated from subducted oceanic crust). Island arcs form at oceanic - oceanic subduction zones. Rifts occur at divergent boundaries where tectonic plates pull apart.
