What is plate collision?
A collision boundary is two plates colliding at each other creating a subduction zone. The heavier/slower plate dives 20-60 degrees down from the surface and the lighter/faster plate is crushed and forms folded mountains along the boundary.
Is St Helen volcano a result of a hot spot or subduction?
Mount St. Helens is a result of subduction as the Juan de Fuca Plate is pushed under the North American Plate.
What type of boundary causes mountains?
Mountain-building is a result of continental collision, so destructive plate boundaries. One plate is destroyed by subduction below the other, which undergoes compression, buckling and uplift as the collision continues. This is happening at present in Asia, raising the Himalayan Mountains.
What happens during a convergent boundary and what usually forms?
At a convergence boundary during collision of two plates there could either be Subduction or Outcropping. Subduction occurs when the collision involves plates of different types and densities while the other happens when it involves similar plate types. Mountain ranges are formed, also Subduction Zones gives rise to Trenches.
What is the process of a oceanic plate colliding with a continental plate?
Its when the oceanic crust and the continental crsut colide together.
What plate collision would most likely happen in a subduction zone?
A subductive collision.
What is the difference between subduction zone and collision zone destrutive plate margin?
A subduction zone and a collision zone are the same place, a collision just happens earlier, when the crusts of the two plates are interacting. Later, when the crust of one plate is being forced under the crust of another plate into the mantle, it becomes a subduction zone.
What is it called when 2 plates crash into each other?
Collision, Mountains, Ridges. I think that is what you are asking. :)
At a destructive plate margin what determines whether a subduction zone or collision zone is formed?
If two cont. crusts collide then you get a collision zone. If cont. crust collides with oceanic crust then you get a subduction zone.
What type of plate collision is producing the Himalayas?
The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.

Mount St. Helens is a result of subduction as the Juan de Fuca Plate is pushed under the North American Plate.
Is crust formed or destroyed at each type of plate boundary?
Divergent: Created Collision\Subduction: Destroyed

What actually occurs at a convergent boundary?
Subduction occurs, as one plate collides with another, the harder plate may force the other plate downwards and into the mantle. For example, when the Indian Plate collided with the Asian Plate, the harder Asian Plate forced the Indian into subduction. This forced the Asian Plate to be raised and the Himalayas were the result.
What kind of plate boundary does MtFuji have?
Mt. Fuji is a result of subduction at a convergent plate margin.
