What forms when plates collide and one plate is pushed up over another plate?
a volcanoe! hope you found this helpfull! :)
How do volcano's form when oceanic and continental plates collide?
Mountains form where continental and oceanic plates collide by the actions of the plates upon one another. Often one plate pushes up and over the other one, and the upper one creates a row of mountains.
Why are mountains and earthquakes two geologic features found on earths surface that are caused by the movement of crustal plates?
They are geologic features because when the crustal plates move its makes cracks on earth the the mountains are one because everytime the crustal plates move it breaks the earths surface and the dirt and rocks start gathering together
When two plates collide what can happen?
When two oceanic plates collide, one may be pushed under the other and cause magma from the mantle to rise, forming a volcanoe or volcanoes. When two continential plates collide at a reverse fault tectonic earthquakes occur.
When one plate causes another to descend into the mantle is?
A subduction zone, that includes a ocean trench. This is only possible if one of the plates are oceanic, because if two continental plates collide a mountain range is formed.
Can tectonic plates pull apart collide and move past one another?
yes
Where earth's plates move they slide alongside one another pull apart or?
collide
Which of these forms when plates collide and one plate is pushed up over another?
mountain
What causes colliding plates?
tectonic movement can cause tectonic plates to collide, drift apart, or slide across one another
Do techtonic plates cause harm?
Tectonic plates can cause harm, when they collide with, plunge under one another etc. This is a cause of earthquakes
Why do large mountains form when two continental collide?
When the two plates collide, they fold. causing both plates to move upwards trying to get around one another. Over time when the plates move upwards, mountains form. This is exactly how Everest was formed.

How were the landmasses split into separate continents?
Continents are basically floating on their own tectonic plates. They collide into one another, separate from one another, etc. So if they separate, the plates are basically moving in opposing directions.
Where Earth's plates move they may slide alongside one another pull apart or?
I am going to make this easy. The answer is DIVIDE!
When 2 plates come in contact with one another what happens?
They can slide past each other, they can collide, or they can pull apart.

How do plate move a convergent boundary?
A convergent boundary is one where two plates are grinding into each other, so the plates are moving toward each other. If one plate more dense than the other, (say a continent and an oceanic plate collide) then the denser plate (the oceanic plate) may be subducted. If two plates of similar or the same density collide, then neither plate will subduct, and crustal thickening may occur. This is the process which formed the Himalayas, resulting from the pressure of two continental plates, the Indian and the Asian.
