b. Two plates carrying continental crust collide — they push against each other, causing the land to crumple and form high mountain ranges.
c. A plate carrying oceanic crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust — the denser oceanic plate sinks beneath the continental plate, creating volcanoes and earthquakes along the edge.
