What is the result when plates Collide?
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.
True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
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 mountain range was formed as a result of 2 continents colliding?
When oceanic plates collide with continental plates, The oceanic plate goes under the Continental plate, creating friction deep in the earth, where the plates are rubbing against each other, creating magma, which rises to the surface and creates volcanic mountain ranges. The Andes mountain range is an example. I don't know if this will help you at all.
Collisions between oceanic plates and continental plates are thought to result primarily from?
Meteor impacts in the ocean basins
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.

What type of landform is found at converging continental plates Why?
When two continental plates collide, the crust is thickened, buckled and deformed--gaining elevation. Mountain chains are the result; their creation occurring over periods of millions of years.
When two plates collide the result is a?
Trolled
True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
What stress occurs when two tectonic plates collide?
When two tectonic plates collide, it is called compressional stress at convergent boundaries. Rocks and plates usually have stronger compressional strength than tensional strength (which would happen at divergent boundaries). This means the higher the likelihood of developing mountains for continent-continent convergence or being subducted for oceanic-oceanic/oceanic-continental boundaries.
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.
Which is a typical visual result when two continental plates of similar density collide with each other?
They form high range mountain becuase there is no subduction zone. This is usually a good place to find regional Metamorphic rock.
What mountain range was formed as a result of 2 continents colliding?
When oceanic plates collide with continental plates, The oceanic plate goes under the Continental plate, creating friction deep in the earth, where the plates are rubbing against each other, creating magma, which rises to the surface and creates volcanic mountain ranges. The Andes mountain range is an example. I don't know if this will help you at all.
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.
How did Alfred Wegener explain mountain formations?
He said that it was due to plate tectonics, a theory which he is famous for. Two plates, either continental-continental, oceanic-continental or oceanic-oceanic collide at plate boundaries, causing an uplift of land. The oceanic plate or the denser plate will subduct. These uplifts will result in the formation of mountains, mountain ranges, volcanoes and islands.
