The difference between a transform and convergent boundary?
Convergent Boundary is a result of two tectonic plates colliding. Divergent boundary is the process where to tectonic plates move away from each other. if two tectonic plates move away from each other (diverge), each will collide with another plate (converge) on the opposite side of the divergent boundary, forming a convergent boundary with another tectonic plate.
What is the possible result of plates moving along a transform boundary?
Earthquake!
Volcanoes commonly form as a result of which two types of collisions?
Volcanoes are usually found where tectonic plates are converging or diverging.
What type of plate boundary is San Francisco on?
conservative. but sanfrancisco is actually on a transform fault not a boundary. the fault is a result of the boundary between the north American and pacific plates.
What do convergent plate boundary form?
Convergent plate boundaries can occur as a continental-continental, continental-oceanic, or oceanic-oceanic crust collision. A continental-continental collisions will typically result in a mountain range formation, such as the Himalayan Mountain Range. A continental-oceanic converging plate boundary will result in the more dense oceanic crust subducting beneath the less dense continental crust. The subduction zone leads to volcano formation from melting rock within the asthenosphere, beneath the continental crust. An example of this boundary is the west coast of the United States. An oceanic-oceanic converging plate boundary will typically result in one oceanic slab "sliding" beneath the other, due to only slight differences in density. This may form a volcanic island arc on the ocean floor, but may not necessarily reach above sea level.
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.
Is a mountain a example of a convergent boundary?
A mountain is an example of a possible result of converging plate boundaries. An actual example of a converging plate boundary would be the Indian-Eurasian Plate Boundarywhich is creating the Himalayan Mountain Range. Other convergent plates can create trenches such as the Mariana Trench, which is the lowest place on the surface of the Earth.

is formed at a divergent plate boundary
What is usually formed as a result of a collision between plates along a boundary?
mountains or earthquakes
