Do convergent motion occurs where two plates push together?
yes it does
What is it called when two plates move towards each other When they move together What is the motion called?
Two plates coming together is known as a convergent boundary.
What is a reverse fault in science?
The crack or line between two plates that are pushing together.
Describe the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristics of each motion?
One of the three types of plates are the transform plates slip past each other. The convergent plates push together. The divergent plates pull away from each other.

What is happening to the plate at the Himalayan mountains?
Two plates are being smashed together creating the Himalayas.
What direction do plates move when creating a volcano?
They can move apart or in some rare cases together.
How would you describe the Motion of plates in a convergent boundary?
Moving together
What would happen if 2 continental plates came together?
Well it depends. Like if the plates slid next to each other you would get a earthquake sometimes creating volcanic reaction therefore making an island. Or if the plates smashed together, you'll get a mountain.
How does the motion of the tectonic plates relate to continental drift?
Continental drift is the theory that "plates" on the Earth are constantly in motion and have been for millions of years. Tectonic plates are the actual moving plates.
