What features when plates converge?
When tectonic plates converge, several geological features can arise, including mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity. The denser oceanic plate may subduct beneath a lighter continental plate, leading to the formation of a trench and potentially triggering earthquakes. Additionally, the collision can cause the uplift of mountain ranges, as seen in the Himalayas, where the Indian and Eurasian plates converge. This interaction is a key driver of geological processes on Earth.
What features could occur where the northern part of the indo Australian plate is colliding with the eurasian?
Mountain ranges or mountain building could occur where the northern part of the Indo-Australian plate is colliding with the Eurasian plate.
How do observations of earthquakes and volcanic activity support theory of plate tectonics?
Observations of earthquakes and volcanic activity support the theory of plate tectonics because they both occur on boundaries. Boundaries are where plates meet and either converge, diverge or transform.
What two pl ates converge to form Andes?
The South American Plate and the Nazca Plate are the two plates that converge to form the Andes mountain range. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the uplift of the Andes through volcanic activity and compression.

Is divergent plate movement associated with the strongest earthquakes?
Although earthquakes can occur anywhere on the planet with little or no warning, the strongest earthquakes occur near the plate boundaries, as the plates converge (collide), diverge (move away from another)
Do most earthquakes and volcanos occur at plate boundaries?
For the most part, yes. Plate boundaries are where they either converge, or diverge, or transform against each other. If they Diverge, that opens a space between the two spaces, letting lava flow out and create more sea floor. When they Converge (come together), that makes a ridge (although not necessarily a volcano). The Ring of Fire is a prime example of quakes and volcanoes appearing on plate boundaries. The 'Ring' is actually on plates, if you look at a map of Plate Boundaries (see Related Links) you can see that.
What is the subduction zone called when a oceanic and continental plate converge?
The subduction zone formed when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge is called an oceanic-continental subduction zone. In this setting, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep oceanic trenches.
Where and when will a volcano most likely occur?
where two plates converge or dirverge
