The force that occurs when plates are pushed together?
Plate tectonics
What are the causes of a Merapi?
Because the two plates hit together and the hevier plate was pushed into the subduction zone which caused the continental plate to spew lava
What are convertgent boundaries?
A conversion boundary is a place where 2 tectonic plates are mving toward each other. There are 3 types of convergent boundaries OCEANIC CRUST-OCEANIC CRUST OCEANIC CRUST-CONTINENTAL CRUST CONTINENTAL CRUST-CONTINENTAL CRUST They are classified according to their crust
How do plates push together?
Both continental and oceanic plates float on the top surface of the mantle, which is divided into convection cells. The movement of these convection cells drag the plates along: where convection causes the mantle material to fall the plates are pushed together and where convection causes the mantle material to rise the plates are pulled apart.
This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along horizontal plane?
This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along a horizontal plane.

What is the effect of plates pushed together?
an earthquake

How do plate tectonics make volcanos?
Plate tectonics is about thin oceanic plates knocking against larger continental plates. When both plates are pushed against each other by thermal actions of the underlying magma then the oceanic plates goes under the continental plate. As it is pushed down it melts and forms magma that rises to the surface and the magma pushes its way through the continental plate and creates volcanoes. The more the oceanic plate is pushed under the continental plate, the greater the potential for more volcanoes and more volcanic activity. Volcanoes can occur under the sea when two oceanic plates come together as well. This action can cause volcanic islands to form.

What causes the Continental and oceani plates to move?
The tectonic plates move because of the great amount of liquid rock, or magma that they 'float' on and get pushed by.
What happens to plates at a continental-continental collision?
the edges crumble and fold and if the foldedn crust can be pushed up high enough to form mountains.
What do scientists call the former super continent when all the continental plates used to be pushed together as one?
Pangaea (pronounced pan-GEE-uh), which means "all Earth" in Latin.
