Converging plate boundaries

Question 2

Accretionary wedges

Question 3

Hornfels

Question 4

Thrust faults

Answer 4

Low angle 30°

Question 5

Andes (ocean-cont)

Question 6

Shallow Earthquakes (ocean-cont)

Question 7

Island arcs (ocean-ocean)

Question 8

Metamorphism in accretionary prism (ocean-ocean)

Question 9

Caribbean (ocean-ocean)

Question 10

Monserrat and Lesser Antilles (ocean-ocean)

Question 11

Faults (all kinds of convergent boundaries)

Answer 11

Thrust fault (low angle) and reverse faults (high angle)
In ocean-cont very much in wedge to regional scale

Question 12

Volcanism/mountains (Continent-continent)

Answer 12

Volcanism common because crust is so thick
High mountains

Question 13

Metamorphism (Continent-continent)

Answer 13

Low grade contact metamorphism
Low-high grade regional metamorphism (depending on how deep and close to area of convergence rock is)

Question 14

Metamorphism (ocean-continent)

Answer 14

Oceanic plate (subducted):
Blueschist - eclogite facies

Accretionary wedge
Zeolite - sub greenschist

Question 15

Volcanism/mountains (ocean- continent)

Answer 15

High mountains
Explosive volcanism (lots of volatiles dragged into mantle wedge)
