when tectonic plate collides with other tectonic plates or moves into another tectonic plate it affects surface in a way to create mountains. Like Himalayas are created when the indian tectonic plate collided with asian tectonic plate.
What else can I help you with?
How do covergent boundary plates affect earths surface?
The tectonic plates combined together
What do plate boundaries affect the surface of the earth?
the plates push together an to make mountins
Which plates are really really dense?
Tectonic plates are the densest plates on Earth's surface.
How does earth affect surface area?
Earth affects surface area through mechanisms such as erosion, tectonic movements, volcanic activity, and weathering. These processes continuously shape and change the Earth's surface over time, altering its overall surface area. Additionally, human activities like deforestation and urbanization can also impact the Earth's surface area.
How does the surface of the earth change when two continental plates collide?
The Earths surface changes shape when plates collide when the earths surface overlaps or when there are Earthquakes.
How many major plates compose earths surface?
there are 8 plates
What is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface?
Lower mantle is the surface on which the lithospheric plates move around earths surface.
What are plates techonics?
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
What surface feature is formed where two plates meet?
The surface feature formed when two plates meet is known as a fault. In some cases mountains can also be formed when two plates collide.
How many land plates does the earth surface have?
The Earth's surface is divided into about 15 major land plates and other smaller sub-plates.
What does the convection cell do to the lithosphere?
Convection in the mantle creates movement of tectonic plates, which can affect the lithosphere by causing it to move, leading to processes like subduction or seafloor spreading. The convection cells help drive the movement of the lithospheric plates on the Earth's surface.
What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
