What else can I help you with?
What stress occurs when two tectonic plates collide?
When two tectonic plates collide, compressional stress occurs. This stress causes the rocks to fold and deform, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas. The intense pressure and friction between the plates can also result in earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What occurs when two tectonic plate collide?
well one of the tectonic plates go under and the other one goes over it and creates a mountain
What frequently occurs at tectonic plates boundaries?
Tectonic plate boundaries are known for its earthquakes and volcano eruptions due to the constant shifting
What is it called when 2 tectonic plates collide?
convergence
What and where do disaster volcanoes most occur?
they mostly occur on the edge of the tectonic plates - the earts plates which make up the crust. when to plates collide push or pull against eachother this will eather form a volcano or an earthquake
What are the landforms that you call volcanoes created by?
Volcanoes are primarily created by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. When these plates shift or collide, it can result in magma being forced to the surface through openings in the Earth's crust, creating a volcano. The magma then solidifies to form the various structures of a volcano, such as a cone or caldera.
Why does the earth shake when the earthquake occurs?
The tectonic plates of the earth shift and move. They overlap and collide with each other which makes the earth shake!
What type of tectonic plates make a volcano?
pacific and atlantic plates
When two plates collide with enough force what occurs breaking the crust?
When two plates collide with enough force, faulting occurs, breaking the crust. Faulting (Apex)
When tectonic plates collide?
When tectonic plated collide they create an earthquake. It happens by them colliding and shaking each other forming a big movement.
What causes colliding plates?
tectonic movement can cause tectonic plates to collide, drift apart, or slide across one another
When tectonic plates collide the Earth's crust forms?
When tectonic plates collide they often form volcanoes or moutains. But when they slide past each other they create earthquakes...like in Haiti or Japan.
