i didn't know either, It is definatly either mountains or volcanoes, but it is difficult to dissifer which one. I am doing this for my Yr9 geography project on Boundarys and i still havn't found the answer. sorry.

∙ 10y agoThey can. It depends on the type of crust involved. Volcanoes will form at subduction zones, where one two plates collide and the heavier of the two plunges into the mantle. This can only happen to oceanic crust. Volcanoes can also form where two plates pull apart or where extra hot mantle material wells up.

∙ 15y agoNo, usually no subduction occurs when continental plates collide.

∙ 11y agoyes the two plates rise up and form a mountain and if it builts up pressure in the mantle then it will cause a volcano

∙ 12y agoNo I don't think so.

What are the landforms that you call volcanoes created by?
tectonic plates colliding
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
The boundaries between two colliding plates are called .?
The boundaries between two colliding plates is called a convergent boundary. Earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries, a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle.
What happens at colliding boundaries?
these boundaries are formed when two plates collide. When the two plate bump one plate is absorbed in the mantle of the other. Heat and pressure when these plates collide causes volcanoes and earthquakes.
What kind of landforms are made by volcanoes?
It when plates colliding and making the volcanos also when the earths crust is open and the mantle or lava comes out,
What do colliding plates cause?
Colliding plates cause mountain ranges to grow.
Convergent boundaries can be divided into 3 categories what are these categories and what geological feature are created by each?
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.
What would happen if plates kept on colliding?
earthquakes and volcanoes
What are the landforms that you call volcanoes created by?
tectonic plates colliding
Do colliding plates cause earthquakes?
Actually colliding plates cause earthquakes
Are most volcanoes formed near colliding plate boundaries?
... Yes that is exactly where they form and the most dangerous volcanoes are formed in this area by wide opening, colliding plates.
The kind of plates that cause mountains to form?
colliding plates
What kind of plates cause volcanoes?
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
Do plates pulling apart cause volcanoes?
no but coliding plates create volcanoes
What is colliding boundary?
these boundaries are formed when two plates collide. When the two plate bump one plate is absorbed in the mantle of the other. Heat and pressure when these plates collide causes volcanoes and earthquakes.
What do subducting plates cause?
volcanoes
What causes volcanoes and earthquacks?
Volcanoes are caused by the rising of magma in the earths mantle and earthquakes are caused by the colliding of the earths tectonic plates against one another.
