when tectonic plates collide to form distinctive crustal features. Key Topic is about… when tectonic plates collide to form distinctive crustal features. Main Idea Essential Details Crustal Features: Folded Mountains Ex. Himalayan Mountains Subduction: YES or NO Why? Two continental plates converging will not subduct because the continental crust is too think and light. So What? (What’s important to understand about this?) The three types of convergent plate boundries are _____________________, ___________________________, and ________________________.

Strategic Instruction Model (SIM™) University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning (KUCRL.org) The FRAME Routine Convergent Plate Boundary Continental/Continental Convergent Oceanic/Oceanic Convergent Oceanic/Continental Convergent Crustal Features: Trench @ sunduction zone Island Arcs Ex. Aleutian Islands Subduction: YES or NO Why? Two oceanic plates converging the older more cold and dense plate subducts. Crustal Features: Trench @ sunduction zone Volcanic Mountain Range Ex. Andes Mountains Subduction: YES or NO Why? More dense oceanic plate will subduct under less dense continental plate.
