What is formed when two ocean plate collide?
When tectonic plates collide and the direction of the forces is primarily perpendicular, the plates push up forming a mountain. The Himalayan Mountains are formed by the collision of two plates and are still growing. The summit of Mount Everest is, in fact, marine limestone.
When ocean plates collide with continental plates the denser oceanic plate?
sinks
What land form is created by tectonic plates crashing together?
this depends on the two plates that collide. Ocean plates are much heavier than continental plates. If an ocean and continental plate collide, the ocean plate sinks underneath and creates a trench. If two ocean plates or two continental plate collide, it creates a mountain range/ oceanic ridge depending on the type.
When one plate causes another to descend into the mantle is?
A subduction zone, that includes a ocean trench. This is only possible if one of the plates are oceanic, because if two continental plates collide a mountain range is formed.
What is formed when two plates collide into each other?
It depends on the type of crust involved. If both plates carry oceanic crust, an ocean trench is formed along with a volcanic island are on the overriding plate. If one plate carries oceanic crust and the other continental, you will get an ocean trench, a continental volcanic arc, and a mountain range. If both plates carry continental crust, then a mountain range is formed.
Are formed when two ocean plates collide?
volcanoes in an island arc
When ocean plates collide with continental plates the denser ocean plate?
sinks

When ocean plates collide with continental plates what does the denser plate do?
sinks
When two oceanic plates collide it creates?
when two oceanic plates collide they create a deep-ocean trench, at deep-ocean trenches subduction occurs.
When oceans plates collide with continental plates the denser ocean plate does what?
sinks

What leads to the creation of island arcs?
When two ocean plates collide.

When oceanic plates collide what volcanic landforms made?
Mid - ocean ridges
