What type of faulting occurs at a continental-continental convergent boundary? Explain your answer.

As per my explaintion is...

At a continental-continental convergent boundary, the collision of two tectonic plates composed of continental crust can lead to a specific type of faulting known as "thrust faulting" or "thrusting." This occurs because continental crust is relatively buoyant and less dense compared to oceanic crust. When two continental plates collide, neither is easily subducted beneath the other due to their similar densities.

Instead, the leading edges of the colliding continental plates crumple and deform, forming large mountain ranges and causing intense compressional forces. The rocks at the leading edge of one or both plates are pushed up and over the other, creating a thrust fault. This type of fault is characterized by rocks on one side of the fault plane being pushed up and over the rocks on the other side.

An example of this type of convergent boundary is the collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, which has resulted in the formation of the Himalayan mountain range through thrust faulting.
