What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of these?
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are always in motion, and when two of them collide with one another it causes earthquakes.
Can scientists predict when earthquakes will occur?
Earthquakes are dangerous to humeans and the environment because the plates collide. I LIKE PURPLE BANANAS
Where do earthquakes usually occurr?
Earthquakes ussually occur near the tectonic plates which cover the earths surface.
Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
Where is a earthquakes?
Earthquakes usually occur around faultlines or plate boundaries because that's where plates split apart a long time ago. When two plates collide they form earthquakes.
What occur when two continental plates collide pushing the continental crust up to form mountains?
Earthquakes!
What time does a earthquake occur?
There are no specific timings to when any earthquakes occur. They occur when two tectonic plates collide into each other, and that can be any time.
When two plates collide what can happen?
When two oceanic plates collide, one may be pushed under the other and cause magma from the mantle to rise, forming a volcanoe or volcanoes. When two continential plates collide at a reverse fault tectonic earthquakes occur.
Why do fold mountains and earthquakes occur at collision plate margin?
Here earthquakes occur because the 2 plates, continental plates, both are colliding with each other so due to friction, there are lots of movements so they collide, they cause movements on the earths crust so-earthquakes occur and because they are continental crusts they can't sink so they have to go somewhere so they move upwards so they cause fold mountains.
Where and when do earthquakes mostly occur?
They mostly occur when the tectonic plates in the earths systems rub against each other and they mostly occur in California.
What are tectonic plantes?
Tectonic plates are plates that float on the earths mantle. There are 8 major tectonic plates on the earth and at the joints of these many earthquakes seem to occur.
