Aleutians: Two oceanic plates
Appalachians: Two continental plates
Andes: One continental plate, one oceanic plate
North American Cordillera: One island plateau, one continental plate
Aleutian mountains are those that form when two oceanic plates collide. The Appalachians formed when two continents collided. Andean-type mountains form when oceanic crust is subducted under continental crust. The North American Cordillera is an example of arc-continent collision, which is when island plateaus join a continent.
diverging: when to plates are moving apart
converging: when too plates are pushing against eachother
tranform: when 2 plates are rubbing past one another
i need the same question
It the Scotia plate and Juan de fuca
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.
Two colliding continental plates will cause an uplift. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia creating the Himalaya mountains.
Anywhere you find volcanic activities but usally is on plate boundaries where you find subduction of one plate into another. Usually Continent-Oceanic convergence. the oceanic sink below the continent because the continental plates are less denser than the oceanic plate. you can also find igneous rocks on oceanic-oceanic plates where the form island arc.
The colliding plate edges become crumpled to form a mountain range.
The two main types of plates are continental plates and oceanic plates. Continental plates are larger, thicker and less dense compared to oceanic plates.

At the margins of colliding tectonic plates.

water puts the Oceanic plates under much more pressure than the air above Continental plates
adaption
Trench volcano, resulting in island arc volcanic mountain chains.

Seismic Activity - Earthquakes or Tremors which in turn can cause can cause oceanic disturbances such as Tsunami's
Aleutian
Fold mountains.
They were formed by the colliding of the tectonic plates during the break-up of the Super Continent.
