Examples of continent-continent convergent boundaries are thecollision of the India Plate with the Eurasian Plate, creating the Himalaya Mountains, and the collision of the African Plate with the Eurasian Plate, creating the series of ranges extending from the Alps in Europe to the Zagros Mountains ...
display abundant evidence of volcanic activity, large-scale igneous intrusions, and deformation structures associated with convergent plate movement. In the United States the folded Appalachian Mts. lie to the east of the interior plains and were caused mainly by the collision of two continents. The...

The convergent tectonic evolution of the Southern Urals started as the Magnitogorsk island arc, which had developed in the paleo-Uralian ocean, began to collide with the margin of Baltica (Zonenshain et al., 1984, Zonenshain et al., 1990, Puchkov, 1997, Brown and Spadea, 1999, Puchkov, ...

creating new crust. A prominent example can be seen in Iceland, which is splitting as the North American Plate moves westward relativeto the Eurasian Plate. At convergent boundaries, crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. This tends to form mountain ranges on continental, or surfac...
