Activity Sheet 5

Two strips of clay were pushed together from opposite ends in an experiment to simulate the collision of two continental plates at a convergent boundary. The strips crumpled as they collided, forming a mountain range. Continental crust is thickened during this type of collision, potentially causing earthquakes or volcanism. In comparison to other boundary types, continental convergence results in mountain building and poses seismic and volcanic hazards to nearby regions.
