What type of mountain is formed when plates converge?
When plates converge, a fold mountain is formed. This happens when the edges of two tectonic plates push against each other, causing the land to buckle and fold, creating mountain ranges like the Himalayas or the Andes.
What happens when two plates converge?
they over lap and cause mountains and hills Folded mountains are produced
What can form where two plates converge?
When two tectonic plates converge, a subduction zone can form where one plate is pushed beneath the other, creating deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs. Another possibility is a collision boundary, where the two plates collide and form mountain ranges due to intense pressure and folding of the Earth's crust.
What forms when plates converge?
mountains
What major landform is made when two continental plates converge?
When two continental plates converge, a major landform created is a mountain range. The intense pressure and collision between the plates causes the Earth's crust to uplift, forming large mountain ranges such as the Himalayas or the Alps.
What happens in a seduction zone of the earth's crust?
the correct term is subduction zone. In geology, subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the Earth's mantle, as the plates converge. from wikipedia.com
What happens when two of the Earth's plates collide and one is forced underneath the other?
a earth quake happens
What happens to plates on the mantle?
Plates on the Earth's mantle are carried around by convection currents from the magma. This happens incredibly slowly.
What location where earthquake will happen?
It happens on the plates of the earth
What is 2 collision of 2 oceanic plates?
an earth quake happens when two plates meet
What are tectonic plates and how do they shape the earth?
They are pieces of land that either are divergent which means that they spread apart from each other, they can also be transform plates which slide on each other and the last kind that mostly shapes the earth are tectonic plates that collide or converge which causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis.
What happens when the earth's plates move together?
a mountain forms.
