10. Continental-Continental Collisions
two tectonic plates with continental crust collide

11. Geological Event: Mountains

14. Simon Says…

15. Continental-Oceanic Collisions a plate with oceanic crust and a plate with continental crust collide causing the denser oceanic crust to sink into the asthenosphere (this is called SUBDUCTION)

16. Geological Event: Trench

18. Simon Says…

19. Oceanic-Oceanic Collisions two tectonic plates with oceanic crust collide, one is subducted under the other
Older oceanic crust is more dense than newer oceanic crust causing the older crust to be subducted.
