Plates that move toasted each other are detractive plates meeting at a destructive margin. If a continental and an oceanic plate move towards each other, earthquakes and volcanoes occur, this is called a subduction margin, but if the plates are both continental then fold mountains form this is a collision margin
What else can I help you with?
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the Earth's plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.
What are collision?
They are the contact points between plates that are moving toward each other.
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
Most volcanoes on land are caused by the Earth's plates moving toward each other, a process known as convergent plate boundary. When two plates converge, the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanoes along the subduction zone.
What is it called when plates are moving toward each other?
This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.
What is it called when the plates are moving toward each other?
When tectonic plates move toward each other, it is known as a convergent boundary. This movement can result in subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other, or in the collision of two plates, leading to the formation of mountain ranges.
Where are the 3 major kinds of boundaries?
Convergent boundaries (plates moving toward each other, also called destructive boundaries), divergent boundaries (plates moving away from each other (sometimes called constructive boundaries), fault lines (sideways movement).
Can two plates moving away from each other form a volcano?
Yes, but no with each other. They can meet other plates.
What is called when two plate boundararys are moving toward each other?
When two plate boundaries are moving toward each other, it is called a convergent boundary. This can lead to subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other, or collision, where the two plates create mountain ranges.
What are three ways tectonic plates interact with each other?
When plates slide past each other, move toward each other, and move away from each other.
What are found where plates are moving toward and away from each other?
When plates are moving towards each other, they often form convergent boundaries where one plate is subducted beneath the other, creating trenches, volcanoes, and mountain ranges. On the other hand, when plates are moving away from each other, they form divergent boundaries where new oceanic crust is created through seafloor spreading, leading to mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys.
Are the pacific plates and the antarctic plates moving towards each other or away from each other or past each other?
the plates are moving away from each other.
When plates moved toward each other they were described as?
convergant plate boundries
