GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Continent-continent convergence creates some of the world’s largest mountains ranges. The Himalayas (Figure below) are the world’s tallest mountains. They are forming as two continents collide.

Detailed explanation-2: -At a convergent boundary with two plates of continental lithosphere, no subduction occurs, and a large mountain range forms with associated earthquakes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Continent-Continent (C-C) convergence is formed between two continental plates. When the plates converge, oceanic sediments are squeezed and upthrust between the plates and these squeezed sediments appear as fold mountains along the plate margins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Himalaya Mountains created by the collision of the India Plate with the Eurasian Plate. Series of ranges extending from the Alps in Europe to the Zagros Mountains in Iran created by the collision of the African Plate with the Eurasian Plate.
