GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When two continents meet head-on, neither is subducted because the continental rocks are relatively light and, like two colliding icebergs, resist downward motion. Instead, the crust tends to buckle and be pushed upward or sideways.

Detailed explanation-2: -Continental-Continental Convergent Boundaries Both plates are less dense, so neither subducts under the other. Instead, the plates collide and push upwards forming large mountain ranges. The Himalayan Mountains were formed from a continental-continental boundary.

Detailed explanation-3: -Collision Zones and Mountains Because the rock making up continental plates is generally lighter and less dense than oceanic rock, it is too light to get pulled under the earth and turned into magma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Continental crust is too buoyant to subduct. When two continental plates converge, they smash together and create mountains. The amazing Himalaya Mountains are the result of this type of convergent plate boundary. The Appalachian Mountains resulted from ancient convergence when Pangaea came together.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: When two continental plates collide the crust is bunched up and a mountain range is formed. Continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust.
