This is a geologic event that occurs when tectonic plates are displaced violently?
earthquake
What geologic events occur most often at this mid-oceanic ridge plate boundary?
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions because 2 plates are pushing against each other causing the crust to rise
What happens at these locations that lead to volcanic mountain formation?
Volcanoes form when geologic plates shift and crack against each other. When the gaps fill with molten earth, the volcano really starts to form.
What geologic features of the ocean floor do you think are formed by crustal plates moving together?
Island Arcs and Ranges.
What is happening to the earths plates at the Himalayan mountains?
The plates are pushing against eachother.
What type of geologic actions do you think happen at the boundaries of tetonic plates?
Volcanoes, caused by slipping plates, and earthquakes, caused by rubbing plates.

What types of geologic features form where two continental plates collide?
Fault ... ;)
What are two geologic events that occur as a result of the movement of plates?
Earthquake and Tsunanmi
Are earthquakes geologic in nature?
Yes. Earthquakes generally result from the movement of tectonic plates.

Why are mountains and earthquakes two geologic features found on earths surface that are caused by the movement of crustal plates?
They are geologic features because when the crustal plates move its makes cracks on earth the the mountains are one because everytime the crustal plates move it breaks the earths surface and the dirt and rocks start gathering together
When two geologic plates are moving away from each other what happens?
When it is two continental plates, new oceanic crust is formed, and when this continues, more oceanic crust is formed between the plates.
What geologic feature results when divergence occures between two oceanic plates?
a mid oceanic ridge
How is a mountain created by nature?
one way is when two plates push against each other they fold up against each other called 'fold mountains' an example being the Himalayas. they are continually growing as the plates continue to be pushed upwards and the plate rises up forming mountains.

Island Arcs and Ranges.
