1. San Andreas fault was formed due to the collision of two continental plates

2. When a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate, the oceanic plate sinks beneath the
continental plate

3. Divergent occurs when plates move towards each other and

collide

4. When two continental plates collide deep ocean trenches. formed

5. Formation of huge, high mountain ranges such as the Himalayas are caused by subduction
