When plates converge heat and presure can cause a build up of magma and create?
volcanoes
What pushes the tectonic plates apart?
a build up of pressure
What does pressure have to do with earthquakes?
The Earth's crust is a series of 'plates' moving on a molten surface. These plates slide against each other, and friction causes pressure to build up where the plates meet. Eventually, the pressure becomes so great that the plates 'snap' past each other. This releases the built-up pressure which we feel as tremors.
What is happening to the plates that formed the Colima volcano in Mexico?
The plates are colliding and causing pressure to build there for it is building up the volcano by pushing it up
What causes lithospheric plates to build up pressure and finally give along transform faults?
Convection from the inner layers of the earth

volcanoes
Where do the earthquakes happen?
, Earthquakes occurs along fault lines, fault lines are where tectonic plates meet. There is a build up of pressure when the plates converge ( move in and hit each other). When the pressure is to great it is released in an earthquake. Hope this helps.

a build up of pressure
If two continental plates converge a subduction zone forms?
False! When two continental plates converge a mountain range is formed. This is what formed and is continuing to "build" the Himalayan mountain chain.Subduction zones form where oceanic crust converges with and is forced under continental crust, or younger more buoyant oceanic crust.

These plates usually float smoothly along the mantle but at times they build up pressure What happens when the pressure snaps the rock?

When tsunami most likely to occur?
when two plates move inside the earth and build up pressure and then the pressure s released causing an earthquake. after the earthquake if it big enough then it will cause a tsunami
What happens at a convergent boundry?
A2. A Convergent Boundary is where two Tectonic Plates come together.They are Destructive boundaries, for some of the plates are consumed. The Himalayas are an example where the plates converge, and build a mountain range between them. There still will be some subduction.The Andes of S America are where the pacific Plate is being subducted beneath the S American Plate.
