compression :)
What else can I help you with?
What forces push at angles toward each other in plate techtonics?
Convergent plate boundaries are locations where two tectonic plates move toward each other, resulting in compression forces that push at angles toward each other. This can lead to subduction zones, mountain building, and earthquakes.
What plate boundary feature is associated with the compressive forces?
High folded mountains where two plates are pushing toward each other
How do plate movements form oceans trenches?
As plates move toward each other, one plate sinks under the other plate.
When forces pull toward each other?
Im pretty sure that is called gravity/attraction
What is called when two plate boundararys are moving toward each other?
When two plate boundaries are moving toward each other, it is called a convergent boundary. This can lead to subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other, or collision, where the two plates create mountain ranges.
When plates moved toward each other they were described as?
convergant plate boundries
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
Most volcanoes on land are caused by the Earth's plates moving toward each other, a process known as convergent plate boundary. When two plates converge, the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanoes along the subduction zone.
What force pulls tectonic plates toward each other?
The force that pulls tectonic plates toward each other is known as "slab pull." This occurs when a dense oceanic plate descends into the mantle at a subduction zone, generating a gravitational force that pulls the rest of the plate along with it.
What is it called when the plates are moving toward each other?
When tectonic plates move toward each other, it is known as a convergent boundary. This movement can result in subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other, or in the collision of two plates, leading to the formation of mountain ranges.
What is it called when plates are moving toward each other?
This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.
How does an earthquake happen in order?
first the plates move towards or along each otherone of them (mostly the oceanic plate)the pressure of the plate moving toward each other is released and an earthquake happens
When continental plates moves toward each other what kind of plate boundary is that called?
When continental plates move toward each other, it is called a convergent plate boundary. This can lead to the collision and subduction of the plates, causing mountain building and deep ocean trench formation.
