Question

Which of the two plates get subducted in continental continental subduction?

Answer 1

When two continental plates collide neither plate can be subducted due to their high bouyancy. With this type of collision there are no features such as a subduction zone, trench or acretionary wedge. The collision of two continental plates occurs when a sea becomes narrower until both plates collide.
