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 plates of different densities are colliding?
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.
When two plates collide with enough force what occurs to break crust?
When two plates collide with enough force, faulting occurs, breaking the crust. Faulting (Apex)
what is place where subduction occurs?
Where two plates collide
What happens when tectonic plates of different densities collide?
When tectonic plates of different densities collide, the denser plate typically subducts or sinks beneath the less dense plate. This process can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. The subduction zone can also generate significant geological activity, including earthquakes and the creation of mountain ranges. Over time, the interaction between the plates can lead to the recycling of materials into the Earth's mantle.
What is the effect of two plates collide?
a fold mountain occurs
What happens when tectonic plates o different densities collide?
When tectonic plates of different densities collide, the denser plate typically subducts, or sinks, beneath the lighter plate. This process can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity as the subducted plate melts and releases magma. The collision may also result in the uplift of mountain ranges and the creation of earthquakes due to the intense stress and friction at the plate boundary.
What happens when plates collide but no subduction occurs?
they hug each other
When two oceanic plates collide it creates?
when two oceanic plates collide they create a deep-ocean trench, at deep-ocean trenches subduction occurs.
What are the different movements of crust?
seafloor spreading occurs when oceans widen and continents separate.convergent plate movements occurs when two plates collide toward each other.divergent plate movement is the moving away of plates from each other.transform plate movement occurs when two plates are sliding horizontally with each other.:)
What kind of volcano occurs where two tectonic plates collide?
They are called rift volcanoes.
What are the different movements of the earth's crust?
