What else can I help you with?
The place where two plates collide and one goes on top the other?
The subduction zone.
What happens duruing an earthquake?
The plates in the earth collide and one goes under the other
Where two plates collide and one goes on top?
Subduction.
What it is call when Tectonic plates collide?
convergence
What occurs on the ocean floor when plates collide?
the contintinental plate goes below the other and lava floating from the center of the earth creates a ridge
Where is the place where two plates collide and one goes on top of the other?
This process typically occurs at subduction zones where two tectonic plates converge, with one plate being forced beneath the other into the Earth's mantle. This can result in the formation of volcanic arcs and deep ocean trenches.
How do plate tectonic interact?
Two tectonic plates collide, one goes under and the other goes over. Usually this forms an earthquake and is how most mountains are formed eg: the great dividing range. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Do folded mountains form by plates being pushed down?
Folded mountains form when tectonic plates collide and the crust is compressed and folded due to the immense pressure. The plates are not pushed down, but rather collide, causing the crust to buckle and fold upward to form mountains.
Describe what happens when two plates carrying oceanic crust collide?
Best Answer:When two plates carrying oceanic crust collide, the resultis that one goes underneath the other - probably causinga tsunami - or an underwater earthquake.
When two oceanic plates collide which one is subducted?
The active one (the one that goes back to an active oceanic ridge).
What happens when 2 tectonic plates collide?
When two plates collide directly (versus sliding along each other) they typically form a mountain range. For example, the Himalayan Mountains are are formed by the collision of the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate. As John McPhee says in "Annals of the Former World", the most amazing thing is that the summit of Mount Everest, the worlds tallest mountain, is marine limestone.
What form when two plates collide and one plates goes under the other plate?
When two tectonic plates collide and one plate subducts beneath the other, it typically forms a subduction zone. This process can lead to the creation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and mountain ranges. The subducting plate is forced into the mantle, where it can melt and contribute to volcanic activity. Such interactions are often associated with significant seismic activity, leading to earthquakes.
