What happens when 2 tectonic plates collide?

An earthquake . . . the tectonic plates are slabs of rock and when thy shift, it creates an earthquake.

it happens when the tectonic plates under the earth collide or push into each other to cause disruption so an earthquake would happen in a place were there is the edge of 2 tectonic plates underneath.

If they are continental plates, they make a mountain.

When two continental plates collide they buckle up and fold forming mountains.

Continetal collision is when 2 different tectonic plates collide i believe.

it causes mountains and sometimes earthquakes

There is an estimated 7 Tectonic plates and they all tend to rub together every so often which causes earthquakes Tectonic plates cause earthquakes by: Tectonic plates rub up against each other Tectonic plates go under each other Tectonic plates o above each other This happens between 2 plates.

Because an earthquake happens when 2 tectonic plates hit each other.

mountains occur where tectonic plates collide When they rub against each other Plus it could be caused by two continental plates colliding as well. they occur mostly where 2 tectonic plates of the same crust (Continental or oceanic) met together at a conservative boundary (at a boundary where they both collide and go upwards) this is why mountains keep on growing, because the plates don't stop pushing.

Mt Eyjafjallajökull (whew!) is on 2 different tectonic plates.

Landforms such as ocean trenches and mountain ranges are created.

They can slide past each other, they can collide, or they can pull apart.

It creates a explosion similar to when Chuck Norris gets mad.

Mountains are formed by plae tectonics. It happens when 2 plates collide and 1 plate is pushed up. The resulting upwards force makes a mountain range. The Rockies, Andes, and the Himalayas are all examples of this.

Earthquakes typically do not occur in the middle of tectonic plates. Earthquakes are mostly caused by 2 tectonic plates colliding into or sliding past each other, resulting in friction that causes earthquakes. However, there are no such tectonic activity going on in the middle of tectonic plates.

tectonic plates- move in 3 ways 1. collide w/ eachother 2.seperate from eachother 3. slide against eachother when plates are moved to the breaking point it causes an eartquake an earthquake is a seismic wave

They can collide and create mountain ranges (i.e, Himalayas) or the older plate will subduct under the other.

It changes because when the 2 tectonic plates collide they form mountains and volcanoes. Also with Alfred Weigners hypothesis the continents are always moving Continental drift and subduction zones the tectonic plates along the earth. continental drift causes tectonic plates to either "pull apart" or "crash" into each other. plates that crash into each other either form mountains, or when one slides under the other (a subduction zone) volcanoes from. *see "Volcanoes" for further explanation)

where 2 plates collide and form one.

tension and compression:)

Yes reverse faults create mountains. this happens by 2 plates collide.

If 2 tornadoes collide they will merge into one tornado.

Earths crust is made of several large tectonic plates. These plates slowly move in three ways. 2 plates may move along side each other, away from each other or toward each other. if 2 plates of equal density collide it will result in rocks being crumpled upward forming mountains. if one plate has less density then the other then the plate with more density will slide beneath the less dense plate

Two plates collide (bump together) at a convergent boundary.

a trench is formed when 2 oceanic plates collide
