What landform will occur if two tectonic plates collide?
volcanoes can be made.
Which of these does not occur at a convergent boundary?
a-plus new crust forms as plates collide
Do divergent plate boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No. They can also occur on continents.
What happens when two continents collide along a convergent plate boundary?
There is a compressional stress on the rocks which causes the crust to shorten. Reverse faults (the hanging wall moves up) occur at convergent plate boundaries. In continental-continental convergent boundaries, where two continents collide, the crust becomes deformed and thickened forming mountain chains. This is known as orogenesis or mountain building. This occurrence explains the creation of the Himalayas where India and Asia collided. Strictly speaking, it is the tectonic plates that collide, not just the continents. The shortening of the land may be accommodated by land folding. For example, the Indian Plate is colliding with the Asian Plate, causing land shortening and mountain folding and building. (Have a glance at the path of the rivers rising in the Himalayas.).
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
Tectonic plates are oceanic plates. But when tectonic plates collide and a convergent boundary earthquakes occur.
A reaction is most likely to occur when reactant particles collide with?
with both proper energy and proper oreantation
Do earthquakes occur as earth's plates collide?
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
Do earthquakes happen on sunny days?
Earthquakes can happen during any weather, an earthquake is essentially when 2 tectonic plates collide. This means that their most likely to occur after a tsunami, they can occur doing any weather though.
What continents don't have earthquakes?
Earthquakes occur on all of the continents, even Antarctica.
Do molecules need to collide for a chemical reaction to occur?
Yes, it is true.
What landform will occur if two tectonic plates collide?
volcanoes can be made.
Why does an ocean trench occur?
oceanic trenches occur where tectonic plates collide and one is pushed underneath the other.
Do Divergent boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No. They can also occur on continents.
What time does a earthquake occur?
There are no specific timings to when any earthquakes occur. They occur when two tectonic plates collide into each other, and that can be any time.
Which of these does not occur at a convergent boundary?
a-plus new crust forms as plates collide
What general areas are more likely to see thunderstorms and lightning?
Thunderstorms are likely to occur when warm, moist air and cold, dry air collide. In the United States, this occurs in Tornado Alley, there is a link attached so you can see were Tornado Alley is.
Do divergent plate boundaries only occur on the ocean floor?
No. They can also occur on continents.
