What is it called when 2 tectonic plates collide?
convergence
What causes colliding plates?
tectonic movement can cause tectonic plates to collide, drift apart, or slide across one another
When tectonic plates collide the Earth's crust forms?
When tectonic plates collide they often form volcanoes or moutains. But when they slide past each other they create earthquakes...like in Haiti or Japan.
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 really causes an earthquake?
When tectonic plates collide an Earthquake is created.
When tectonic plates collide folds and faults become?
Mountain Ranges
When tectonic plates collide folds faults can become?
Mountain Ranges
When two tectonic plates collide what does it make?
When two tectonic plates collide, it can form various geological features such as mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. The specific features that form depend on the types of plates involved and the specific boundaries at the collision zone.
Where do tectonic plates meet after they collide?
their local pub (cpap answer) :P lol
What stress occurs when two tectonic plates collide?
When two tectonic plates collide, compressional stress occurs. This stress causes the rocks to fold and deform, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas. The intense pressure and friction between the plates can also result in earthquakes and volcanic activity.
What it is call when Tectonic plates collide?
convergence
What tectonic plates are colliding?
The movement or action of the plate determines what type it is. When two plates collide, they are creating a convergent boundary. Therefore you could state that they are convergent (or colliding) tectonic plates.
