๐ CONTINENTโCONTINENT CONVERGENCE | GEOMORPHOLOGY
What happens when two continental plates collide? ๐โก
Continentโcontinent convergence occurs when two continental tectonic plates move toward each other. Since both plates are relatively buoyant, neither easily subducts. Instead, the crust undergoes compression, folding, faulting, and uplift, leading to the formation of massive mountain systems. ๐๏ธ
