Question

Plate Boundaries
What will happen where two continental plates collide at a convergent boundary?
*
1 point
One plate is subducted beneath the other
The plates push up forming a mountain chain
A volcanic arc is formed
The direction shifts and it becomes a transform boundary

Answer 1

When two continental plates collide at a convergent boundary, the correct outcome is:

**The plates push up forming a mountain chain.**

This is because neither plate is subducted due to their buoyancy; instead, they crumple and fold, leading to the formation of mountain ranges.
