earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, underwater earthquakes, underwater volcanic eruptions. also, if an underwater earthquake occurs because of colliding plates, a tsunami can occur as well. it's like a chain. if something happens, there is always an effect following it.

∙ 12y agoA collision boundary is two plates colliding at each other creating a subduction zone. The heavier/slower plate dives 20-60 degrees down from the surface and the lighter/faster plate is crushed and forms folded mountains along the boundary.

∙ 13y agoWhen plates collide into each other or Convergent boundary that forms Volcanoes and Mountain ranges.
When they split apart or Divergent plate boundary that forms mid ocean ridges under water and on land it forms a valley or a rift valley
when they slip past each other or transform boundary it causes earthquakes.

∙ 14y agoBy the direction they are moving...... The plates move because of convection currents inside of the mantle. Perhaps that second tidbit is the answer you were looking for.

Which two tectonic plates are colliding causing the rise of the Andes Mountains?
The Nazca and the South American plates are colliding forming the Andes Mountain.
What are the landforms that you call volcanoes created by?
tectonic plates colliding
What is a earthquake a result of?
An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
One feature associated with colliding plates?
st helens :))
What is at a convergent boundary where two continental plates are presently colliding?
Both Plates are pushed upwards and rocks are folded and faulted to form mountain ranges. For Example this occurred in Europe when the Eurasian and African plates collided to form the Alps. And a Subduction zone is formed when a continental and Oceanic plates collide as the oceanic plate is forced downwards into the mantle.
What do colliding plates cause?
Colliding plates cause mountain ranges to grow.
Do colliding plates cause earthquakes?
Actually colliding plates cause earthquakes
What causes the movement of plates?
colliding plates and
What landform resulting from 2 continental plates colliding together?
Tectonic plates colliding generally form mountains.
The kind of plates that cause mountains to form?
colliding plates
What two plates are colliding?
convergent
What can colliding plates form?
an earthquake
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.
Which two tectonic plates are colliding causing the rise of the Andes Mountains?
The Nazca and the South American plates are colliding forming the Andes Mountain.
What is the boundary between plates that are colliding?
you will get a covergent
Are colliding plates a constructive force?
yes
What tectonic plates are colliding?
The movement or action of the plate determines what type it is. When two plates collide, they are creating a convergent boundary. Therefore you could state that they are convergent (or colliding) tectonic plates.
