one oceanic and one continental crust

Question 2

Question 3

any combination

Question 4

Answer 8

destructive margin

Question 9

what happens at a collision boundary ?

Answer 9

2 continental plates move together - equally as dense not one gets sub ducted. this forces sedimentary rock between the plates to be forced upwards - forming a fold mountain.

what happens at a conservative margin ?

Answer 10

two plates move side by side - causing friction - pressure builds steadily until a catastrophic slip occurs - creating an earthquake.
