GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Orogenic belts occur where two continental plates collide and push upwards to form large mountain ranges. These are also known as collision boundaries.

Detailed explanation-2: -When two tectonic plates meet, we get a “plate boundary.” There are three major types of plate boundaries, each associated with the formation of a variety of geologic features. If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary.

Detailed explanation-3: -Convergent (Colliding): This occurs when plates move towards each other and collide. When a continental plate meets an oceanic plate, the thinner, denser, and more flexible oceanic plate sinks beneath the thicker, more rigid continental plate. This is called subduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction.
