The movement of crustal plates is driven by heating from within the mantle, as the separate plates sit atop the fluid asthenosphere. The difference in rock motion means that plates can be pushed into, over, and under each other.

∙ 9y agoThe result when two plates collide is the buckling of the continental crust. When this happens, rocks pile up and form towering mountain ranges.

What is the result when two plates is carrying the continental crust collide?
haha
What do you call a chain of volcanos that result from oceans colliding?
Oceans do not collide but oceanic crustal plates can collide, and when they do collide, island arcs are formed along the subduction zone.
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.

What are 1 geological features that could result when 2 continental plates collide?
Mountain buildup.
Plate A and Plate B are both continental plates What is the most likely result if the two plates collide?
the plates will push each other up and form a mountain range.

Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
How does the structure of the earth's surface result in an earthquake?
Its When Tectonic plates either collide Or Move Apart. Examples Of Tectonic Plates moving Together are mountains and volcanoes.
What type of boundary is formed when plates collide?
When plates collide it is called a convergent boundary.newtest3

What landform forms when two of earth's plates collide?
Mountains, get pushed up when two plates collide.
Why are mountain ranges so high?
When two tectonic plates collide, they result in mountains and when they keep going, the mountains get higher.
What occurs when sea plates collide with continental plates?
subduction
