What do tectonic plates form when they converge?
Convergent tectonic plates are plates that are moving toward each other.
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
The difference between a transform and convergent boundary?
Convergent Boundary is a result of two tectonic plates colliding. Divergent boundary is the process where to tectonic plates move away from each other. if two tectonic plates move away from each other (diverge), each will collide with another plate (converge) on the opposite side of the divergent boundary, forming a convergent boundary with another tectonic plate.
What are the other tectonic plates besides the 7 largest tectonic plates?
The link has the information you asked for.
How many tectonic plates do we have?
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates

What are tectonic plates and how do they shape the earth?
They are pieces of land that either are divergent which means that they spread apart from each other, they can also be transform plates which slide on each other and the last kind that mostly shapes the earth are tectonic plates that collide or converge which causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis.
In what three ways can tectonic plates move?
Im pretty sure its ridge push, slab pull, and mantle convection

What does converge means?
it means to tectonic plates come together and one plate overlaps the other

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.
Where do earthquakes form and where they are find?
Anywhere there are tectonic plates, and when two tectonic plates hit each other

How do Folded mountains form when two plates converge?
neither plates are pushed under the other.
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
