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 the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates?
Volcanic mountains over hot spots in the mantle. Fault-block
What tectonic plate is San Andreas Fault on?
Faults do not appear on plates. They appear in between plates.
What type of boundary is made when plates collide?
continental plates meeting form fault lines
When to tectonic plates push into each other the place the to plates meet is called what boundary?
Fault lines
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.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What does plates do?
Tectonic plates are sections of the Earth's crust, which float on the mantle beneath the crust. You can see where plates end at fault lines, like the San Andreas fault line in the USA, These plates are constantly shifting, and if they collide, the shockwave can cause an earthquake and/or Tsunami
What is fault of earthquake?
Tectonic plates
What can happen when to plates collide together?
a fault
What is a tectonic fault?
A Tectonic fault is where the different tectonic plates meet and it is a fault because one may be higger or thicker than the other.
How are fault line formed?
by tectonic plates
What geological feature will form when plates collide?
Fault
Describe what happens along a fault beneath earths surace when an earthquake occurs?
the tectonic plates start to collide which causes shearing, so the epicenter is forces to move farther down the path of the fault.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates?
Volcanic mountains over hot spots in the mantle. Fault-block
What is the similarity between a fault and a fault zone?
A fault is where to tectonic plates meet but a fault zone is the area around a fault.
What do you call the area where two tectonic plates meet?
A fault
