Volcanoes commonly form as a result of which two types of collisions?
Volcanoes are usually found where tectonic plates are converging or diverging.
What is a result in a diverging boundary?
valleys and basins
What ways can tectonic plates move?
The interaction areas between tectonic plates are called boundaries. There are three types of boundaries:Transform--where plates essentially grind past each other with no subduction.Convergent--where plates collide. Oceanic plate to oceanic plate convergence will result in the more dense plate subducting under the less dense plate.Divergent--where plates move apart. The major diverging plates are located at the mid-ocean ridge system where melting material from the asthenosphere fills in the separating plate zone, creating new crust.
What is a earthquake a result of?
An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
Oceanic plates diverge?
When oceanic plates diverge an underwater earthquake is the result. Oceanic earthquakes often result in disastrous Tsunamis.

What is caused by divergent plates pulling apart above sea level?
The African Rift Valley is on example of this process, and eventually, this part will be separated from Africa. Another example is Iceland, which is actively volcanic because of the arrival of primary magma on the surface, as the two plates spread apart.
What boundary is Peru Chile Trench and Andes Mountains?
The Trench and Andes are on the boundaries of the Nazca and South American Plates. Both of those landforms are the result of a subducting Nazca Plate.
What boundary is Peru-Chile Trench and Andes Mountains?
The Trench and Andes are on the boundaries of the Nazca and South American Plates. Both of those landforms are the result of a subducting Nazca Plate.
What are landforms that result from magma?
Islands and volcanoes.

What type of landforms might a convergent boundary create?
Landforms that could be created at convergent boundaries would include: volcanoes, mountains, trenches, volcanic islands, and even deserts could result from the effects of converging boundaries.the landforms are mountains
What are three types of motion that occur at plate boundaries?

Which is a result of compression forces acting on plates?
a result of compression forces acting on plates is massive folding and faulting of rock
What is a earthquake a result of?
An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
Which of the following landforms result from divergence of continental crust?
a rift valley
