Describe two ways in which oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries differ from oceanic-continental boundaries. How are they similar?

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

A)two ways that oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries are different from oceanic-continental boundaries

1)The occurrence of Oceanic-oceanic convergence in the ocean are deep, when there is formation of trenches as a result of overlapping of one oceanic plate on another, then there will be scattering into small bits of the oceanic plate resulting in earthquake.

✓the nature as well as thickness of crust that exist in continental plates and oceanic plates: formation of oceanic plates is at divergent boundaries usually at ocean ridges. The Oceanic plates are thinner when compare with continental plates,

✓ Oceanic-continental convergence do cause mountain formation where there is overlapping of continental plate on

oceanic plate

B)How are they similar?

They are similar because convergence of each of them can catalyse formation of a volcano, also the descending of one slab on another is similar.
