Give an example of such boundary on the surface of the earth with the name of two. \) Mountains formed from a continent-continent convergent zone (Steven Earle, “Physical Geology”).Įxamples of continent-continent convergent boundaries are the collision of the India Plate with the Eurasian Plate, creating the Himalaya Mountains, and the collision of the African Plate with the Eurasian Plate, creating the series of ranges extending from the Alps in Europe to the Zagros Mountains in Iran. Explains that mountain ranges are created where two continental plates come together at a convergent plate boundary. At an ocean-continent convergent boundary, the denser oceanic plate is pushed under the less dense continental plate in the same manner as at an ocean-ocean boundary. Briefly list three main geological features that a continental-oceanic convergent boundary causes.
