When two tectonic plates meet, we get a "plateboundary." There are three major types of plate boundaries. If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the convergingplateswill move beneath the other, which is known as subduction.

What happens when plates meet?
Well I know when two plates collide the plates form a mountain and when they hit each other theres a crack on earths crust and a earth quake happens
What is the scientific explanation of earth quake?
When the tectonic plates of the Earth separate and then hit each other at some point this is what causes an earthquake
what structures are created at each type of convergent boundaries?
Convergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates hit each other. This can cause earthquakes, but can also create mountains.
Where does earthquakes happen on earth?
Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates hit into each other. Causing an earthquake. ~DDG~
How earthquacks happened?
The tectonic plates that create earth surface move and sometimes hit each other, if they hit just a little bit, an earthquake results. California is an example, two tectonic plates match up there, and that is why there are always earthquakes. Some even say it will drift away from the usa because of the constant tectonic plate movement
Where do earthquakes form and where they are find?
Anywhere there are tectonic plates, and when two tectonic plates hit each other
What would two continental plates produce?
it depends on how they hit each other
What are the Processes of how an earthquake is made?
A eartquake is made when 2 plates hit each other
How does tectonic plate movement affect the environment?
It causes earthquakes when the plates hit each other.
Where does earthquakes strike the most?
They strike the most where tectonic plates are found and when the hit each other
What consequences does the tectonic plates have?
The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.
How is the opening of a volcano formed?
a volcano is formed when the plates hit each other.
What happens when plates meet?
Well I know when two plates collide the plates form a mountain and when they hit each other theres a crack on earths crust and a earth quake happens
What tectonic plate caused Christchurch's earthquakes?
there tectonic plates under the water. so when the tectonic plates are moved or hit each other means there will be an earthquake.
WHY did the Kobe quake happen?
The Tectonic Plates Shook And Hit each other Forming Seismic Waves.........Mkay
When plates slide across each other do they only form earthquakes?
Yes because when they hit it causes the ground to shake.
Why can you have earthquakes and volcanoes when you are not at the edge of a tectonic plate?
Because an earthquake happens when 2 tectonic plates hit each other.
