Does ocean to ocean collision make mountains?
No. It is the collision between two tectonic plates that can cause mountains. For example: when the Indian plate collided into the European plate, the Himalayan mountains were formed.
What 2 plates collided to cause the earthquake in christchurch in new zealand?
the Pacific and Australian plates collided together, to make the earthquake.
When plates in Earth's crust collided do volcanoes erupt?
not necessarily but its not unheard of. mainly they make earthquakes or in some cases they form mountains over time
The ural mountais formed as a result of the collision of Europe with asiathe urals are therefore most likely to be?
The Ural mountains formed as a result of the collision of Europe with Asia and are folded mountains. Fold mountains are mountain ranges that are formed when two of the tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust push together at their border. The extreme pressure forces the edges of the plates upwards into a series of folds.
What type of plates collide to form Krakatoa?

Asia. The dividing line between Europe and Asia is generally thought to be the Ural mountains.
What are methamorphic rocks?
When 2 plates collide, they cause the rock to break apart down to sediamentary rock. Then, the sedimentary rock forms mountains of metamorphic rock, through heat and pressure. METAMORPHIC ROCK IS MAKE OF BROKEN DOWN, SMALLER PIECES OF ROCK THAT HAS BEEN COLLIDED TOGETHER.

How high are the ural mountains?
2500 km The above must be someone's estimate of length - I make it closer to 1600 km. The highest Ural mountain seems to be about 1900 METRES, so the average would be around 1200 metres.
