One feature associated with colliding plates?

Earthquakes are a feature associated with colliding plates. When tectonic plates collide, the intense pressure and friction can cause the plates to stick and build up stress. When this stress is released suddenly, it results in seismic energy being released in the form of an earthquake.


What landform resulting from 2 continental plates colliding together?

Tectonic plates colliding generally form mountains.


The kind of plates that cause mountains to form?

Tectonic plates are responsible for the formation of mountains. When two tectonic plates collide, the force can cause the Earth's crust to uplift and fold, resulting in the formation of mountain ranges. This process is known as orogeny.


What can colliding plates form?

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.

yes


What can be caused by slipping sliding and colliding of the tectonic plates?

Slipping, sliding, and colliding of tectonic plates can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges. These movements can also lead to the creation of new landforms, such as rift valleys and trenches, and can impact the distribution of resources and habitats on Earth.
