Convergent Plate Boundaries: Collision Zones
Investigation into plate boundaries where continental plates collide, forming fold mountains.
Key Questions
- Explain the immense forces involved in the formation of fold mountains.
- Compare the geological processes and resulting landforms of subduction zones versus collision zones.
- Predict the long-term geological evolution of a continental collision zone.
