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 ...
Numerical simulations of an ocean/ continent convergent system: influence of subduction geometry and mantle wedge hydration on crustal recycling. Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems 11, Q05008. doi:10.1029/2009GC003015.Roda, M., Marotta, A. M., & Spalla, M. I. (2010). Numerical simulations of...
2, ocean-continent connection zones between the two oceans, including: (1) properties of continental margin basement, for example, if the crusts of the Okinawa Trough, the Okhotsk Sea, and east of New Zealand are continental crust or oceanic crust, and the origin of micro-continent in oceans...
the continents are generally antipodal to theoceanbasins (i.e., ocean basins are found on the opposite side of the earth from continental masses). For example, there is an antipodal relationship between the continental Antarctic region and the Arctic Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean lies opposite Af...
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...
