1. 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 ________________________. It is important to remember ________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________.

The FRAME Routine
Convergent Plate Boundary
Continental/Continental Convergent
Oceanic/Oceanic Convergent
Oceanic/Continental Convergent
Crustal Features:
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:
sunduction zone
Volcanic Mountain Range
Ex. Andes Mountains
Subduction: YES or NO
Why? More dense oceanic plate will subduct under less dense continental plate.
