What else can I help you with?
What is important when determining the type of collision that forms when two plates collide?
so you know what kind of land form you will find. and the collision will be put on the rector scale
What kind of volcano occurs where two tectonic plates collide?
They are called rift volcanoes.
The kind of plates that cause mountains to form?
Tectonic plates are responsible for the formation of mountains. When two tectonic plates collide, the force can cause the Earth's crust to uplift and fold, resulting in the formation of mountain ranges. This process is known as orogeny.
What happens when two plates carrying carrying continental crust collide?
When two continental plates collide, it is an example of convergent boundaries. Since continental crust is buoyant and brittle, it will not be easily subducted, unlike oceanic crust. Therefore, the subduction that does occur will be shallow and will not experience as many igneous intrusions. The two colliding continental plates will hit each other and will produce a buckling appearance as they both fight being subducted. These kind of collisions tend to produce immense mountains such as the Himalayas.One plate goes underneath they other and melts under the plate it went under and forms magma which causes an eruption
What kind of force is illustrated in the given diagram of a divergent boundry?
Tension
What are tectonic plates and how do they shape the earth?
They are pieces of land that either are divergent which means that they spread apart from each other, they can also be transform plates which slide on each other and the last kind that mostly shapes the earth are tectonic plates that collide or converge which causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis.
What kind of boundry occurs wherever two plates move toward each other?
A convergent boundary occurs when two plates move toward each other. This movement can result in subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other, or it can create mountain ranges and volcanic activity.
What happens when continental crust collides continental crust?
A mountain gets made
Which kind of boundary is based on a physical feature?
You decide it is either a natural or artifisial boundry......
What kind of boundary is formed by the direct collision of two lithospheric plates?
A convergent boundary is formed when two lithospheric plates collide. One plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This collision often leads to the formation of mountain ranges or volcanic activity.
What kind of plates pull apart?
divergent plates
What kind of plates are under Japan's?
Tectonic plates
