If two plates of different densities collide, the more dense one is forced downwards and eventually becomes part of the mantle. This is usually an oceanic plate. The less dense, continental, plate is pushed up and mountains form along the edge.

What occurs when two plates of different densities collide?
If two plates of different densities collide, the more dense one is forced downwards and eventually becomes part of the mantle. This is usually an oceanic plate. The less dense, continental, plate is pushed up and mountains form along the edge.
What do colliding plates cause?
Colliding plates cause mountain ranges to grow.
How are the effects of colliding plate and separating plates similar and different?
it is different because separating plates move apart gaps between the plates and allow magma, while colliding plates form collision produced from distinct landforms, and they are both the same because they both produce landforms.
Do colliding plates cause earthquakes?
Actually colliding plates cause earthquakes
How are the effects of colliding plate and separating plate similar and different?

What landform resulting from 2 continental plates colliding together?
Tectonic plates colliding generally form mountains.
What can colliding plates form?
an earthquake
What kind of three faults occur at different plate boundaries?
Trasform(plates sliding past each other.) Converging(plates colliding.) Divergent(plates moving away.) These are 3 different types of plate boundries
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 is the boundary between plates that are colliding?
you will get a covergent
Are colliding plates a constructive force?
yes
Where are Colliding continental plates located?
fault lines
