What type of boundary is formed wen plates collide?
Convergent boundary
What factors are most important when determining the type of boundary that forms when two lithospheric plates collide?
i love it
What is a transverse boundary?
A transverse boundary is when two plates collide, causing great amounts of pressure. The plates crumble, and usually get destroyed. This is a very destructive type of boundary. This is also know as a transform boundary, or a sliding boundary- even though this action is the opposite of sliding.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates?
Volcanic mountains over hot spots in the mantle. Fault-block
What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
What type of boundary is formed when plates collide?
When plates collide it is called a convergent boundary.newtest3
What type of boundary is forward when plates collide?
convergent boundary
What is the type of plate boundary where two plates collide?
Convergent Boundary.
What type of boundary is formed wen plates collide?

What tectonic plates are colliding?
The movement or action of the plate determines what type it is. When two plates collide, they are creating a convergent boundary. Therefore you could state that they are convergent (or colliding) tectonic plates.
What are converging boundaries?
A convergent boundary is when two plates collide with each other forming landforms like trenches, or mountains (depends which type of plates converge.)
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates?
Volcanic mountains over hot spots in the mantle. Fault-block
This is also known as destructive boundary?
A destructive boundary is a certain type of boundary of a tectonic plate. Destructive boundaries make the plates move toards each other and eventually collide. This is why they are often called collision boundaries.
