What else can I help you with?
What is occurred by colliding plates?
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.
What is plate collision?
A 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.
What do two plates of equal density form mountain ranges along?
Along their colliding (convergent) boundary.
What type of boundary causes mountains?
Mountain-building is a result of continental collision, so destructive plate boundaries. One plate is destroyed by subduction below the other, which undergoes compression, buckling and uplift as the collision continues. This is happening at present in Asia, raising the Himalayan Mountains.
Are the Mountains characteristics of a Convergent Boundary?
Yes, mountains are often associated with convergent boundaries where two tectonic plates collide. The collision forces rocks upwards, leading to the formation of mountain ranges. Examples include the Himalayas where the Indian Plate is colliding with the Eurasian Plate.
What boundary type is cascade mountains?
The Cascade Mountains are a volcanic mountain range located in the western United States. They are considered to be a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding.
What is the boundary between plates that are colliding?
you will get a covergent
What can result from two plates in earths lithosphere colliding at a converging boundary?
mountains are made. from a fifth grader i look it up in my science book.
What landform resulting from 2 continental plates colliding together?
Tectonic plates colliding generally form mountains.
What is usually formed as a result of a collision between plates along a boundary?
mountains or earthquakes
What is the geographical location of the mountains Describe them briefly?
Mountains usually occur at the boundary between two of the Earth's tectonic plates that are colliding. This occurs famously in India/Pakistan where the Indian subcontinent is moving north into the Asian plate forming the Himalayan mountain chain.
The place where 2 plates come together is known as?
colliding boundary
What created the Himalayan mountains?
Two tectonic plates colliding .
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.
Which mountain formed by two continents colliding?
The Ural Mountains were formed by the collision of the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates, marking the boundary between Europe and Asia.
What is the biggest mountain caused your colliding continental plates?
The Himalayan mountains.
Where are mountains from?
Mountains are caused by the uplift of landmasses either by volcanic action or by continental plates colliding.
