Collision Plate Margins

Question 1

Stage 1

Answer 1

2 continental plates move towards each other due to convection currents in asthenosphere

Question 2

Stage 2

Answer 2

(Would have been subduction and destruction of oceanic plate between the 2 continental)

Continents collided and subduction stopped as both continental plates have similar densities

Question 3

Stage 3

Answer 3

Continental material thickens due to folding and faulting by compressional forces, with crustal and and sediment material being forced upwards into a range of fold mountains

Question 4

Stage 4

Answer 4

Violent earthquakes are common

DUE TO

Collision and compression of the 2 continental plates

Question 5

Draw a collision boundary

Answer 5

Yes
