Convergent Plate Boundaries: Collision
Study the formation of fold mountains and associated seismic activity at continental collision zones.
Key Questions
- Explain the process of continental collision and the formation of major mountain ranges.
- Compare the seismic characteristics of subduction zones versus collision zones.
- Analyze the geological evidence for past continental collisions.
