What will happen if two plates crashed into each other?
Doraexplorer
If two plates crashed into each other two possible things can happen:
1 The plates bump into each other and can cause an earthquake.
2 The plates crash, then they go upwards to form a mountain or a volcano.

Transform fault boundaries happen at the site where two tectonic plates move past each other in opposite directions.
