Two continental plates move together and thicken crust. Which boundary type fits?

  1. transform boundary
  2. divergent boundary
  3. no relative motion specified
  4. convergent boundary
See the answer & why

convergent boundary

Continental collision is a convergent setting.

A little hint: Divergent boundaries separate plates; convergent boundaries bring them together.

Divergent boundaries separate plates; convergent boundaries bring them together.
