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.

What is happening to the plates to form Mt Rainer?
The plates are moving towards each other and they collide.
What happens when plates collide but no subduction occurs?
they hug each other
When two plates collide or crash into each other it is called a what boundary?
convergent boundary
How does a mountain range form?
Is form when two plates collide; is caused by the force pushing against each other (the plates).
What is the boundary when two tectonic plates separate from each other?
Divergent Boundary. That is when the plates seperate. Convergent Boundary is when they collide. Transform Boundary is when they slide past each other.
What happens when plates collide into each other?
It creates mountians

What happens when plates collide but no subduction occurs?
they hug each other
A rift valley forms where two plates do what?
collide into each other
What happens when two plates move each other?
they collide and create earthquake
What forms when two plates collide and pile up on each other?
Mountain range.
When plates of the earth move toward each other or collide they -----r-e?
disperse
What is it called when plates of the earth move towards each other or collide?
fault line
Which boundary am i when plates collide into each other i can create mountains?
A destructive plate boundary.
When two plates collide or crash into each other it is called a what boundary?
convergent boundary
How does a mountain range form?
Is form when two plates collide; is caused by the force pushing against each other (the plates).
Is it true that earthquakes are formed by the heat of the sun and the coldness of the ocean?
No, earthquakes happen as the result of Earth's tectonic plates moving. Tectonic plates are what make up the lithosphere, the top layer of the crust. When the plates move, they either rub against each other, called "shearing", collide with each other, "compression", or they move away from each other, "tension". As the plates move, the rumbling earthquake occurs.
