Question

Which of the following options is not a resulting situation of two plates colliding at a convergent boundary?

The plate that has greater density sinks under the less dense plate.
The oceanic crust has a greater density and pushes up the continental crust.
The two plates squeeze the crust into high mountain ranges.
The two plates grab onto each other and lock in place.

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. Two plates grab onto each other and lock in place is not a resulting situation of two plates colliding at a convergent boundary. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Answer 2

The two plates grab onto each other and lock in place is not a resulting situation of two plates colliding at a convergent boundary. When two plates colliding at a convergent boundary, what happenes is that one of the boundary either goes under or on top of the under, in order to release the energy that the two have stored because of the collision.
