When two oceanic plates collide what physical feature forms?
Mountains and grass
This type of boundary forms when two oceanic plates collide.?
convergent
Where does oceanic and oceanic plates collide?
When a trench or volcano comes.
When two oceanic plates collide it creates?
when two oceanic plates collide they create a deep-ocean trench, at deep-ocean trenches subduction occurs.
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
When tectonic plates collide with oceanic plates, the denser oceanic plate is usually forced beneath the less dense continental plate in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep ocean trenches. The collision can also cause earthquakes and crustal deformation.
When ocean plates collide with continental plates the denser oceanic plate?
sinks
What are two ways volcanoes can forms near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
Why do oceanic plates dive underneath continental plates when they collide?
Oceanic plates are denser than continental plates due to their composition, so when they collide, the denser oceanic plate is forced to dive (subduct) beneath the less dense continental plate. This process occurs due to the difference in density between the two types of plates, leading to the oceanic plate sinking into the mantle.
What forms when plates collide together?
When tectonic plates collide, they can form various geological features depending on the nature of the collision. If two continental plates converge, they can create mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas. When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, it can lead to subduction, forming deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. Additionally, the collision of two oceanic plates can result in island arcs.
What is oceanic -oceanic convergent boundary?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
What is a oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
What forms where two oceanic plates collide?
When two oceanic plates collide, a process called subduction occurs, where one plate is forced beneath the other into the mantle. This often leads to the formation of volcanic arcs, deep-sea trenches, and earthquakes. Over time, the subducted plate melts and can contribute to the formation of new oceanic crust.
