What else can I help you with?
Do earthquakes only happen where plates converge?
no, earthquakes mainly happen when two plates crash each other or one plates goes under the other.
When does a mid ocean ridge form?
It forms when the 2 plates converge or come apart
What results when two ocean plates meet and converge?
it should form a underwater earthquake and causes a Tsunami
What happen two continental plates converge?
they over lap and cause mountains and hills Folded mountains are produced
What do tectonic plates form when they converge?
When tectonic plates converge, they can form various geological features such as mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanoes. This convergent boundary can result in one plate being pushed beneath the other in a process known as subduction.
What forms when plates converge?
mountains
How are divergent plates different from convergent plates?
Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
What features when plates converge?
When tectonic plates converge, several geological features can arise, including mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity. The denser oceanic plate may subduct beneath a lighter continental plate, leading to the formation of a trench and potentially triggering earthquakes. Additionally, the collision can cause the uplift of mountain ranges, as seen in the Himalayas, where the Indian and Eurasian plates converge. This interaction is a key driver of geological processes on Earth.
Do Plates move together or apart at mid ocean ridges?
Mid Ocean ridges separate the plates and create new seafloor. Places where plates converge and disappear into the abyss are called trenches. The Marianas Trench is the deepest trench in the world.
What type of boundary is found at a mid ocean ridge and what type of boundary is found at a trench?
Divergent - where two plates are moving away from one another. (Mid-ocean Ridge)Convergent - where two plates are moving towards one another. (Ocean Trench) found at both O/O converge and O/C converge.
What happens when to plates converge on the earth?
it makes a baby
How non-volcanic mountains are created by plate tectonics?
Non-volcanic mountains are caused when continental plates converge.
