Earthquakes and tidal waves can be cause. Mountain ranges can also be upthrust. Generally speaking plates don't collide, as they are usually in constant contact with each other. WHt happens is that one plate is forced under another one. These plates then create friction which builds up pressure until suddenly one of the plates is freed, which results in the 'shock' of an earthquake. However, if there is no friction, the plates can often pass easily over/under each other.

How does the surface of the earth change when two continental plates collide?
The Earths surface changes shape when plates collide when the earths surface overlaps or when there are Earthquakes.

What creates a volcano?
earthquakes in the earths core rubbing togetherTectonic plates move and collide against each other.
What does category of earthquake mean?
the moving or depositioning of rocks underneath the surface of the earth when th earths plates collide
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
When do earths plates collide?
Earth's plates collide at convergent boundaries, where two tectonic plates move towards each other. This collision can result in one plate being forced beneath another in a process called subduction, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges. The timing of these collisions is influenced by the movement of the plates, which occurs continuously over geological time scales.
What is it called when plates collide?
an earthquake
What can form when plates collide?
an earthquake
Why do mountains form when earths plates collide?
One plate tectonic, or fragment, is pushed underneath another plate which causes the other one to go nowhere else but up.
When ocean plates collide with continental plates what does the denser plate do?
sinks
What do folds in the earths mostly form on?
Folds in the Earth's crust primarily form on convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide. The immense pressure and stress from the plates' movement cause the rocks to deform and bend, resulting in fold formations.
What type of boundary is formed when plates collide?
When plates collide it is called a convergent boundary.newtest3
