What is it called when 2 tectonic collide?
convergence
What is the definition of the word continental collision?
Continetal collision is when 2 different tectonic plates collide i believe.
When 2 slabs of rock collide what happens?
An earthquake . . . the tectonic plates are slabs of rock and when thy shift, it creates an earthquake.
Where do many earthquakes happen in a country?
it happens when the tectonic plates under the earth collide or push into each other to cause disruption so an earthquake would happen in a place were there is the edge of 2 tectonic plates underneath.
What is the relation between tectonic plates and mountains?
Mountains are formed by plae tectonics. It happens when 2 plates collide and 1 plate is pushed up. The resulting upwards force makes a mountain range. The Rockies, Andes, and the Himalayas are all examples of this.
What is it called when 2 tectonic plates pass each another?
earthquake
What happens when 2 tectonic plates collide?
When two plates collide directly (versus sliding along each other) they typically form a mountain range. For example, the Himalayan Mountains are are formed by the collision of the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate. As John McPhee says in "Annals of the Former World", the most amazing thing is that the summit of Mount Everest, the worlds tallest mountain, is marine limestone.
Where 2 plates moved apart from each other are called?
I'm guessing you're talking about the tectonic plates? Divergence.
What forms when 2 plates collide?
earthquakes
What is it called when two tectonic plates colide?
It's referred to as a Convergent Boundary If 2 Continental Plates --> Mountains If 2 Oceanic Plates --> Subduction of Heavier (older) Plate If Continental-Oceanic --> Oceanic Plate slides under the Continental Plate (Subduction of Oceanic)
Is Mt Eyjafjallajokull on 1 or 2 tectonic plates?
Mt Eyjafjallajökull (whew!) is on 2 different tectonic plates.
What is when 2 plates boundaries bump together?
When two tectonic plates collide or bump together, it can result in the formation of mountain ranges, earthquakes, and deep-sea trenches. The plates can either push against each other, leading to the uplift of land and the formation of mountains, or one plate can be forced under the other in a process called subduction, which can lead to volcanic eruptions and seismic activity.
