The 36 pages that link to Continental collision, each with the reason it gives.

• HimalayasBroader topic: The specific plate-boundary process that raised the Himalayas and still shortens Asia today.

• Subduction zoneCompared with: When continents meet, subduction may give way to crustal shortening and mountain building.

• Continental crustRelated: Collision thickens existing crust and builds major mountain belts.

• Zagros MountainsNarrower topic: Collision between Arabia and Eurasia drives ongoing mountain building in the Zagros.

• OrogenyRelated: Collision thickens and folds crust, as in the formation of the Himalaya.

• Arabian PlateRelated: This process explains the Arabia–Eurasia mountain-building zone.

• Wilson cycleBroader topic: The final stage: collision sutured the margins and ended the ocean.

• Ural MountainsRelated: Collision between ancient landmasses generated the Uralian mountain belt.

• Alpine orogenyBroader topic: Collision thickened and shortened crust as the Alpine belt developed.

• Convergent boundaryBroader topic: This subtype differs from oceanic subduction because buoyant continental crust resists sinking.

• Mohorovičić discontinuityRelated: Collision can thicken, deform, or duplicate crust, producing complex Moho structure.

• Himalayan orogenyNarrower topic: The Himalaya are a major active example of this mountain-building process.

• Slab pullCompared with: Collision jams the slab, showing how plate behavior changes when the pull disappears.

• Earth's crustRelated: Collision thickens and deforms continental crust, building major mountain belts.

• Anatolian PlateRelated: Collision between Arabia and Eurasia supplies the compression driving Anatolian escape.

• Kopet DagNarrower topic: Regional plate convergence compresses and uplifts the Kopet Dag.

• PannotiaRelated: Collision is the proposed mechanism by which Pannotia’s component landmasses joined.

• Variscan orogenyBroader topic: This process thickened crust and raised mountains across the Variscan belt.

• LaurussiaBroader topic: This process joined Laurentia and Baltica into Laurussia.

• Mountain rangeRelated: Collision raises broad, high ranges such as the Himalaya.

• Tibetan Plateau upliftNarrower topic: The India–Eurasia collision supplies the broad tectonic setting for uplift.

• 2008 Sichuan earthquakeNarrower topic: Collision between India and Eurasia drives the regional tectonic stresses behind the rupture.

• Columbia (supercontinent)Related: Collisions welded Columbia's separate crustal blocks into a larger landmass.

• Grenville orogenyNarrower topic: Collision between continental blocks drove the crustal thickening and deformation characteristic of the orogeny.

• KenorlandRelated: Collision is one process that could have joined the cratons proposed to form Kenorland.

• ContinentsRelated: Collisions join landmasses and build mountain belts along continental margins.

• SupercontinentRelated: Collisions weld separate continental blocks into larger landmasses.

• Chersky RangeNarrower topic: Regional plate convergence drives mountain-building processes in northeastern Siberia.

• Continental fragmentRelated: A fragment can collide with a continent and become part of its crust.

• Paleo-Tethys OceanRelated: Collision followed Paleo-Tethyan seafloor consumption and helped join continental blocks.

• Fold mountainsRelated: Collision supplies the compression that folds and uplifts extensive mountain belts.

• Algoman orogenyRelated: Collision is a leading process used to explain the mountain-building and crustal thickening.

• North CascadesRelated: Ancient plate interactions helped assemble and raise the rocks of the range.

• Nyenchen Tanglha MountainsNarrower topic: The India–Eurasia collision created the tectonic setting in which the range developed.

• PaleocontinentRelated: Collisions merge paleocontinents and build mountain belts along their margins.

• Terra Australis OrogenRelated: Collision contributed to deformation and mountain building in parts of the belt.
