What type of mountain is formed when the earths crust is squeezed together?
It depends on the type of plates coming together but two continental plates will form a mountain chain. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia to form the Himalayas.
Explain what is happening at a convergent plate boundary?
what is happening at a convergent plate boundary is the two plates are coming together and forming mountains.
What happens when the earths crust buckles in a wavelike pattern creating hills or mountains?
The action of earth's crust buckling in wave-like patterns is due to two plates coming together or converging. These plates can be either oceanic or continental plates. Examples of these types of plates are the Eurasian, Pacific, Australian, Caribbean plates.
Where do plates come together?
The place where tectonic plates come together is named an Destructive Boundary
Do transform plates move together or apart?
Transform plates are also known as "Spreading Plates." Therefore, they spread apart
What is it called when two plates move towards each other When they move together What is the motion called?
Two plates coming together is known as a convergent boundary.
What is a buckling zone?
A buckling zone is a region of the Earth's crust where two plates are coming together or converging.
What mountain collision of two plates causes the formation?
Your answer is in your question a "collsion", the coming together of two plates in a covergent or destructive boundary, usually involving a benioff zone and subduction.
What is happening at a convergent plate boundary?
what is happening at a convergent plate boundary is the two plates are coming together and forming mountains.

It depends on the type of plates coming together but two continental plates will form a mountain chain. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia to form the Himalayas.
What are volcanoes and what causes them?
a volcano is a rupture or opening in the earths crust. caused by convergent (coming together) or divergent (moving apart) plates
Explain what is happening at a convergent plate boundary?
what is happening at a convergent plate boundary is the two plates are coming together and forming mountains.
Is the Colorado Rocky Mountains range man made or natural?
It is natural! They were formed by two continental plates converging, coming together.
What are three ways plates move?
There are three ways that tectonic plates can move. There is divergent movement, or separating, convergent movement, or coming together, and transform movement, or sliding along each other.
What happens when the earths crust buckles in a wavelike pattern creating hills or mountains?
The action of earth's crust buckling in wave-like patterns is due to two plates coming together or converging. These plates can be either oceanic or continental plates. Examples of these types of plates are the Eurasian, Pacific, Australian, Caribbean plates.
What relationship exists between the location of earthquakes and the location of volcanoes?
Both Volcanoes and earthquakes are located where plates of the earth's crust are coming together. This motion and interaction at the edges of the plates is called plate tectonics.
Boundaries between plates?
There are 3 main types of boundaries between plates: Convergent- when two plates are coming together (mostly form mountains) Divergent- when two plates are moving apart (mostly form rift valleys) Transform- when two plates slide past one another (also called strike-slip)
