When tectonic plates collide and the direction of the forces is primarily perpendicular, the plates push up forming a mountain. The Himalayan Mountains are formed by the collision of two plates and are still growing. The summit of Mount Everest is, in fact, marine limestone.
Subduction zone
TSUNAMI!! Caused by earthquakes.
yes
sinks
When two ocean plates collide.
Mountains, get pushed up when two plates collide.
earthquakes
Mountain ranges are formed when two continental plates collide. When they converge one plate will be forced slightly under the other one.
volcanoes in an island arc
continental slope
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.

When plates collide it is called a convergent boundary.newtest3
sinks
when two oceanic plates collide they create a deep-ocean trench, at deep-ocean trenches subduction occurs.
a trench is formed when 2 oceanic plates collide

this depends on the two plates that collide. Ocean plates are much heavier than continental plates. If an ocean and continental plate collide, the ocean plate sinks underneath and creates a trench. If two ocean plates or two continental plate collide, it creates a mountain range/ oceanic ridge depending on the type.
