Do techtonic plates cause harm?
Tectonic plates can cause harm, when they collide with, plunge under one another etc. This is a cause of earthquakes
When two plates collide what can happen?
When two oceanic plates collide, one may be pushed under the other and cause magma from the mantle to rise, forming a volcanoe or volcanoes. When two continential plates collide at a reverse fault tectonic earthquakes occur.
What is it called when two plates collide and cause a volcanic eruption?
A destructive margin
What causes colliding plates?
tectonic movement can cause tectonic plates to collide, drift apart, or slide across one another
What is plates when there is an earthquake?
Tectonic plates influence earthquakes because of convection cells that move the plates around. When the plates collide, they cause a shockwave of energy released in the form of a earthquake.
What is the cause of earthquakes in Southern California?
The tectonic plates shift causing them to collide and shake the ground.
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
When tectonic plates collide with oceanic plates, the denser oceanic plate is usually forced beneath the less dense continental plate in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep ocean trenches. The collision can also cause earthquakes and crustal deformation.
What it is call when Tectonic plates collide?
convergence
The kind of plates that cause mountains to form?
Tectonic plates are responsible for the formation of mountains. When two tectonic plates collide, the force can cause the Earth's crust to uplift and fold, resulting in the formation of mountain ranges. This process is known as orogeny.
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
What is it called when plates collide?
an earthquake
What can form when plates collide?
an earthquake
