they collide and create earthquake
What else can I help you with?
How does the continental drift form?
Continental drift is what happens when the Earth's plates shift either towards or away from the other plates. Earthquakes occur when two of the plates bump into each other. It happens when the magma from within the Earth rises up and pushes the plates, due high pressure they pose. That's the best I can do.
When plates moved toward each other they were described as?
convergant plate boundries
What plates move towards each other?
convergent
Do convergent plates move towards each other?
yes
In which direction do plates travel at a convergent boundary?
At a convergent boundary, plates move towards each other.
Where 2 plates moved apart from each other are called?
I'm guessing you're talking about the tectonic plates? Divergence.
How do convergent move?
They Move Towards Each Other because of the Plates.
How do plates move where convection are sinking?
They move towards each other.
What is the plate boundary where plates are moving towards each other?
A fault.
What happens when 2 oceanic plates and 2 continental plates move towards each other?
When 2 oceanic plates and 2 continental plates move towards each other, subduction occurs. The denser oceanic plate sinks beneath the less dense continental plate, creating deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. This process can lead to the formation of mountain ranges and earthquakes.
What happens a a convergent boundary?
a subduction zone forms
What happens to lithospheric plates when an earthquake occurs?
When an earthquake occurs, lithospheric plates either slide past each other, collide, or move apart along their boundaries. The stress accumulated along the plate boundaries is released suddenly, causing the plates to deform and generate seismic waves that we feel as an earthquake.
