What happens when 2 oceanic plates and 2 continental plates move towards each other?

when 2 oceanic plates move toward(converge)each other they form a lain of VOLCANIC ISLAND ARC.when 2 continenatl plates move toward(converge)each other they form MOUNTAIN BUILDING.


What are the three types of plate tectonic boundries?

divergent (plates move away from each other), convergent --->


What do you think happens to earth's crust when plates move toward each other?

An earthquake happens


What do tectonic plates move?

Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.


What are the two ways the tectonic plates move?

Tectonic plate interactions are of three different basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.

What is it called when the plates are moving toward each other?

This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.
