The huge sections are called tectonic plates. When they collide this is called a convergent boundary. Usually one plate is oceanic and one is continental, and the oceanic plate is forced down in a subduction zone. This forces the continental plate up, giving rise to mountains and often volcanoes.
What else can I help you with?
What are huge sections of the Earth's crust called?
TecTonic plates
What happens when the two flat sides of a black hole collide?
I don't know what you mean with "flat side". But if two black holes collide, this should produce a huge amount of gravitational wave. This is believed to be a common result of galaxy mergers.
What are the huge sections of the earth's crust that move called?
The huge sections of the Earth's crust that move are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer beneath them, known as the asthenosphere, and their movements contribute to processes like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.
How are tsunamies cause?
tsunamis are caused when an earthquake occurs in the sea and the two plates underneath the earth's crust collide and then bounce back up creating a huge wave.
How causes tsunamis?
tsunamis are caused when an earthquake occurs in the sea and the two plates underneath the earth's crust collide and then bounce back up creating a huge wave.
The type of mountain involving huge sections of the earth's crust being pushed up into anticlines and synclines is the?
A fold mountain is the type of mountain involving huge sections of the earth's crust being pushed up into anticlines and synclines. It often occurs when two continental plates collide.folded mountain
Are giant whirlpools real?
yes. because the tides that collide could be huge
Is planet x really hit the earth?
NO! And the proof is its already 2013 no hit and earth isnt in the middle of the solar system and many planets are in it so I say planet x isnt going to collide with earth and if it is a meteorite then theres a really big chance planet x hits the huge sun and melts there
How many volcanoes on your earth?
There are more than 1500 active volcanoes on earth. We currently know that 80 or more are under ocean's, these volcanoes can't produce magma just huge explosions.
How much energy is transferred from the sun to a produce?
The Sun produces a huge amount of energy, the amount captured by Earth based "producers" is negligible by comparison.
What are structures on earth that move on the asthenosphere?
One example of a structure on Earth that moves on the asthenosphere is a tectonic plate. These plates are huge sections of Earth's lithosphere that float and move on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. The movement of these plates is responsible for phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
What is the difference between a tsunmi and an earthquake?
the difference between a tsunami and an earth quake is an earthquake is when the tectonic plates collide in some form a tsunami is an underwater earthquake that creates a huge tidal wave. that is very basic but i hope it helps!
