Activity 4b Head On Collision

The document discusses the density differences between continental and oceanic plates, noting that oceanic plates are less dense and will subduct when colliding with continental plates. It outlines the geologic processes and features resulting from the collision of these plates, including events that occur during the convergence of two oceanic plates. Additionally, it poses questions regarding the geologic events and surface features that may arise from these plate movements.

1.

Which is less dense- a continental


plate or an oceanic plate? Which
plate will dive under if the two
were collide with each other?
2. What geologic processes happen
when oceanic and continental
plate boundary collide?
3. What geologic features are
formed when collision of oceanic
and continental plates happened?
Activity 4
Head-On Collision

Part B: Convergence of Two


Oceanic Plates

Procedure:

1. Study Figure 11. It shows a cross-


section of two converging oceanic
plates.
2. Using your knowledge gained from
the previous activity, identify the
geologic events or features resulting
from this collision.
Guide Questions:
Q1. What are the geologic
processes/events that will occur
because of this plate movement?
Q2. What geologic features might
form at the surface of Plate A?
Q3. If the edge of Plate A suddenly
flicks upward, a large amount of
water may be displaced. What could
be formed at the surface of the
ocean?
