What are plates moving away from one Another?
When plates move towards each other it is called a convergent boundary. The two types of plates converging depends on what happens. When it is oceanic/oceanic, both plates subduct (go downward), leading to the creating of trenches found at the depths of the ocean. When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate, again creating trenches, and also leading to the destruction of the ocean floor. When continental plates converge, they tend to smash up and rise, creating mountains. When plates move apart, it is called a divergent boundary. When oceanic plates move apart, magma rises, cools, and solidifies to create new ocean floor. This, along with continental/oceanic convergence, accounts for seafloor spreading. When two continental plates diverge, the area left between them slowly turns into an ocean. For an example of this type of ocean, look at the Red Sea.
How the different plates interact with one each other and what effect they have on the environment?
The plates in the Earths crust are always moving and occasionally the crash in to each other, the vast impact of the smash make the earth tremble and that is an earthquakes, they can also make tsunamis, and where the to plates meet they will keep pushing up into each other to make mountains.
What is responsible for the continued uplift of many major mountain ranges?
Mountains are uplifted as tectonic plates smash into each other or magma rises up from under volcanoes.
When particles get heated up what happens?
Like cars, lots of things happen: they can "bounce" off each other, they can 'smash' into pieces, or they can pass right by each other.
Where do subduction boundarys occur?
There is no such thing as a subduction boundary, there are divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries. When there is a continental-oceanic convergent boundary (when a continental plate and an oceanic plate smash together) the oceanic plate, because it is more dense sinks into deeper layers of the earth. The area where the two plates meet makes a trench which is a subduction zone. The oceanic plate will melt into the earth and because of the excess lava it rises out onto the continent and makes a volcanic mountain and the lava erupts.
What happens when two plates tectonic move toward each other and smash together?
The Plates form a Subduction zone. (look it up)
THEORY OF PLATE TECHTONIC?
When the Continental Drift Theory applies; when two plates either collide, smash, or slide to move plate techtonics.

What does plate tectonics have to do with volcanoes and earthquakes?
volcanoes: make the ground crumble and break and cause plates to move and smash earthquakes: makes the ground break and smash together and causes plates because they break when they hit each other.
What happens when you beat Super Smash Bros Brawl?
Play Super Smash Bros Brawl with other players.
Why does England have no volcanoes vor earthquakes?
well u need plates under the place that is about to erupt or eatrhquakes so to form the volcano u need two Continental plates because they are both light they smash in two another causing a moutin or a volcano if under the mantel a volcano but there is no plates under England hope it helped
If multiple tectonic plates smash together at the same time will they cause an earthquake in multiple places?
The earthquake will be a lot bigger but it will only affect the places near to where the plates smash together i think!

What happens if you smash your iPod?
It breaks.
What happens when you drop jars?
They smash.
What happens when one continetal and one oceanic plate collide?
Well the oceanic plate is usually lower than the continental plate so i think the ocianic plate will smash upward. I may be wrong...
What is responsible for the continued uplift of many major mountain ranges?
Mountains are uplifted as tectonic plates smash into each other or magma rises up from under volcanoes.
