The place where tectonic plates touch is known as the what?
It is called plate boundarys :P
Volcanoes commonly form as a result of which two types of collisions?
Volcanoes are usually found where tectonic plates are converging or diverging.
How faults are made?
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
What is the are where two tectonic plates meet?
a trench
What are the two plates inside the earth called?
If you are thinking of tectonic plates then there are more than two.
What are the two types of tectonic?
The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic.
What are the two types of plates?

two seafloor plates and a seafloor plate and continental plate

How many tectonic plates are located in Bali?
Bali is located on two tectonic plates.

What is the difference between plate tectonics and tectonic plate?
There are two types of tectonic plates:oceanic plates, thin and dense composed mostly of basalt rockcrustal plates, thick and light composed mostly of granite rock
C There are two types of tectonic plates oceanic and continental what is the difference between these two types of plates?
The lithosphere displaces the asthenoshpere. Thick tectonic plates, such as those made of continental crust, displace more asthenosphere than do thin plates, such as those made of oceanic lithosphere.

Where do earthquakes form and where they are find?
Anywhere there are tectonic plates, and when two tectonic plates hit each other
When two plates carrying the continents buckle?
Tectonic plates.
Where two tectonic plates meet?
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
What types of tectonic force create mountains?
The type of tectonic forces that create mountains are called converging plates. As two continental plates push together, the stress forces them both upwards. Because of this the Himalayas are still growing.
