∙ 14y agoIf plates are moving together in synchrony, then very little would happen. If they move toward each other, any number of things could happen from subduction, mountain building, volcanism, and earthquakes.

∙ 12y agoTectonic plates moving together will result in earthquakes. Differing types of plate contact makes for varied results. They can slide laterally in the same direction or in opposite directions. In some areas one plate will move down under a plate while the opposing plate lifts up causing mountains, valleys and rifts to form.

∙ 9y agoThere are many things that can form when plates move together. Convergent boundaries form and may produce subduction zones, deep ocean trenches, and continental volcanic arcs.

Do transform plates move together or apart?
Transform plates are also known as "Spreading Plates." Therefore, they spread apart
Do the plates of the lithosphere move together?
every few years
Why do oceanic plates move under continental plates when the two collide?
Oceanic plates move under continental plates when they converge together because the oceanic plate is more denser than the continental plate.
What is collide divide slide?
Collide-When two plates meetDivide-When two plates separateSlide-When two plates move in a smooth way together
Do scientist think the earth surface is broken into huge plates that fit together but move slowly?
Yes. They think the earth's crust (where we are right now), is broken into huge plates (the continents) that fit together, but move very slowly. Thank you for asking.
What kind of boundary do tectonic plates move together?
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
What do you get when plates move together?
you get mountians
Where do plates move together?
convergent boundary
Why do the earth plates move together?
earthquakes
Plates move together at a what?
Subduction zone.
What causes continental plates to move?
the continental plates are caused when silicon,silica and dioxid combined together making the plates split and then it causes the plates to move.
What is it called when two plates move towards each other When they move together What is the motion called?
Two plates coming together is known as a convergent boundary.
Do plates that move together have the most activity on them?
2cm
What would happen when plates move together?
they break
How do converging boundaries move?
The plates come together
What can form where plates move together?
If plates move together they will make a montinous or a hill side area. If lava is flowing beneath it it can make a volcano and potentialy erupt.
What are the three ways boundaries interact?
convergent boundaries: plates move together divergent boundaries: plates move apart transform boundaries: plates move against each other
