Two continental tectonic plates pushing into each other form a convergent boundary, which creates mountain ranges like the Himalayas. Convection currents in the Earth's mantle cause the plates to slowly move towards each other over time, forcing the edges to crumple upwards and form mountain chains along the boundary.

5. Cause and Effect
Cause
When the heat from the core makes material
to go up it creates convection currents. These
curents slowly force plates to move. When two
continental plates pushed into each other,
they creat a convergent boundary
Effect
Mountains are being created as a result of
convergent boundary

6. Analysis
Convergent plate boundaries (continental-continental) is a
place where two tectonic plates meet each other. All
tectonic plates are constantly being moved because of the
convection currents that occur in the mantle. Continental
plates are creating mountains when they pushed into each
other. A few examples of this feature arethe Himalaya
Mountain Range and the Appalachian Mountain Range.
