When two plates collide with enough force what occurs to break crust?
When two plates collide with enough force, faulting occurs, breaking the crust. Faulting (Apex)
What type of force pull two plates together?
tension acting on the plates
What force occurs where Earth's plates are moving apart?
Tectonic forces (earthquakes, volcanoes...)
How was the mount Blanc formed?
mountains are formed through the movement of tectonic plates which form the earths crust, with the force from convection currents. as two plates move towards eachother, where they meet can be pushed up to form mountain ranges etc.
How do natural disasters occur?
because the earths plaits are pushed together to create stuff like volcanoes ,giant waves and earthquakes.gale force winds are created by space and
Was Brasstown Bald formed by a constructive or destructive force?
Constructive because two tectonic plates pushed together and pushed it up.
Why did Mt Etna erupt in 1669?
i think it was due to the tectonic plates which were pushed together coz of the strong force of lava and magma

What is the force called that gets made by two plates pushing together?
compression
What provides the force that pushes up mountains?
The thing that provides the force for pushing up mountains is the convection currents in the asthenosphere. The currents move the tectonic plates on which the continents are sitting upon. When the currents force the plates together a convergent plate boundary is formed and due to the pressure of the plates colliding mass amounts of rock are pushed up forming mountains, but i must remind you that since this is the earth this all happens very slowly at the rate of at most 3 cetemeters a year.
How much force does a earthquake?
all is that i know is that it starts with a p
What is a force of repulsion?
The Repelling force is Caused by two of the same side of magnets being pushed together. this doesn't make a magnetic feild so it does not attractie: two south / north poles pushed together would be pushed away.hopefully that's alright=]=);)ohh yeah try putting this on facebook : (^^^) it's cool . x
