What is formed when plate boundaries collide?
Mountains.
What happens at colliding boundaries?
these boundaries are formed when two plates collide. When the two plate bump one plate is absorbed in the mantle of the other. Heat and pressure when these plates collide causes volcanoes and earthquakes.
What does convergent bounderies mean?
Convergent boundaries are tectonic plate boundaries, where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
What is the where 2 tectonic plates meet called?
a plate boundary there are constructive plate boundaries, destructive plate boundaries, conservative plate boundaries and collision plate boundaries
Plate margins that are coming together are called what?
Convergent plate boundaries
What is formed when plate boundaries collide?
Mountains.
What type of plate movement creates folding mountains?
Mountains form along convergent boundaries when 2 plates collide. These are also called colliding boundaries.
Why are there several categories of convergent plate boundaries?
because they all collide

Where do earthquakes and volcanoes appear?
Around plate boundaries Sometimes they can occur far from plate boundaries.
Why don't earthquakes follow plate boundary lines exactly?
Its because the plate boundaries collide with eachother causing the earth to shake.

What are plate boundary settings?
There are three main plate boundaries, convergent plate boundaries,divergent plate boundaries and transform fault boundaries. Convergent plate boundaries are when the plates collide together, this often causes mountain building. Divergent plate boundaries are when plates are moving apart, this is what caused the Mid Atlantic Ridges. Transform Fault Boundaries is when they move past each other horizontally, this boundary dosent cause any new landforms.
What does plate boundaries mean?
Earth's crust is broken up into segments called tectonic plates, which move very slowly. A plate boundary is where two of these plates meet. There are three basic types: convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
