A brief description of each with occurences:Convergent--the collision of two plates from opposite directions. Mountain formation, volcanic activity, earthquakes. Divergent--The pulling apart of two plates in opposite directions. Creation of new crust with volcanism. Ridges. Transform--Where plates slide past each other. Earthquakes, fault mountains.

∙ 9y agoThree different things occur at plate boundaries. At divergent plate boundaries, the tectonic plates pull apart from each other. At convergent plate boundaries, the plates push against each other. At transform boundaries, the plates slide or rub against each other.

What is the where 2 tectonic plates meet called?
a plate boundary there are constructive plate boundaries, destructive plate boundaries, conservative plate boundaries and collision plate boundaries
Are plate tectonic plate boundaries?
No, plate boundaries is part of the explanation of the Plate Tectonic theory:)
Plate margins that are coming together are called what?
Convergent plate boundaries
What plate boundaries do hot spots from?
Plate boundaries are usually not associated with plate boundaries. In the cases that they occur near them, it is usually coincidence.
What happens along some convergent plate boundaries when both landmasses are of low density?
Neither plate subducts and the crust thickens and uplifts.
What happens when plate boundaries meet?
Volcanos,,,, Mountain Building
What are three types of plate bounderys?
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries
What happens at the plate boundaries where spreading occurs?
the earth drifts away. This is science.
What happens when plate boundaries move?
you get earthquakes, and also changes in shape of the land.
What happens to plates at a transform plate boundary?
earthquakes occur where there are transformed boundaries.
Which plate movement relies on the weight of the subduction crust?
This happens in front of Island Arcs and in at destructive plate boundaries.
What are three types of bounderies?
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries
What is the where 2 tectonic plates meet called?
a plate boundary there are constructive plate boundaries, destructive plate boundaries, conservative plate boundaries and collision plate boundaries
What happens along a plate boundary that leads to high occurrences of volcanoes?
Subduction happens along plate boundaries which pushes up magma which then creates volcanoes.
What happens to the lithosphere at transform plate boundaries?
Lithosphere is neither destroyed nor created.
What happens to lithosphere at transform plate boundaries?
Lithosphere is neither destroyed nor created.
Are plate tectonic plate boundaries?
No, plate boundaries is part of the explanation of the Plate Tectonic theory:)
