Activity 3Head-On CollisionPart A: Converging Continental Plate and Oceanic PlateObjectives:Explain the processes that occur along convergent boundaries.Determine the consequences of colliding plates.Procedure:1. Study Figure 10 showing a cross-sectional diagram of plates that are converging, and answer the questions that follow.TrenchMountain BuildingOceanPlate BPlate AEarthquakesFigure 10. Cross-sectional diagram of converging continental and oceanic platesQ15. What type of plate is Plate A? What about Plate B? Why do you say so?16Q16. Describe what happens to Plate A as it collides with Plate B? Why?Q17. What do you think may happen to the leading edge of Plate A as it continues to move downward? Why?Q18. What do you call this molten material?Q19. What is formed on top of Plate B?Q20. As the plates continue to grind against each other, what other geologic event could take place?
Answer (1)
Figure 10 plate A is oceanic plate B is continental Q16. Plate A is oceanic so it's denser it will go downward in the ocean and Plate B continental plate will just tend to plate A.Q17. Subduction would happen if plate A go down.Subduction is a process when oceanic crust go down and melt because of the magma.Q18:MagmaQ19. A volcano may form.Q20.An earthquake
