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)

∙ 9y agoThe process is called plate tectonics in general, which is the movement of lithospheric plates on top of the asthenosphere. Subduction occurs when an oceanic plate and continental plate collide. The more dense oceanic plate "subducts" or moves underneath, the less dense continental plate.

How many tectonic plates are located in Bali?
Bali is located on two tectonic plates.
At a mid Ocean ridge how do the two tectonic plates move?
The plates move apart, which is called a divergent boundary.
What is the place where two tectonic plates move away from each other horizontially?
The place where two tectonic plates move away from each other horizontally are called divergent plate boundaries.
What is the movement called when the seafloor divided where the two plates moved from each other?
Tectonic movement
Where two tectonic plates meet?
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
How is the earth quake formed?
two tectonic plates colide
How is the Earth formed?
two tectonic plates colide
What are tectonic plates and plate boundaries?
Tectonic plates are plates underneath the ground we stand on that help to form the structure of the earth, when two tectonic plates colide they create terrains such as mountains. they have also been known to cause some Tsunami's.
Place where two plates colide?
on the table
How where mountains made?
two of the same plates colide

If you are thinking of tectonic plates then there are more than two.

They are called a Plate Boundaries :)
What are two tectonic plates pulling away called?
Divergent plates. They form a divergent plate boundary.
