What else can I help you with?
What it is call when Tectonic plates collide?
convergence
What are tectonic plates how were continents formed?
these are the plates under the land and they are spins round and when they meet and they form the continents
Can two plates moving away from each other form a volcano?
Yes, but no with each other. They can meet other plates.
What is the name of the places were the tectonic plates meet?
The places where tectonic plates meet are called plate boundaries. There are three main types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries (plates moving towards each other), divergent boundaries (plates moving away from each other), and transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other).
When two tectonic plates push into each other the place the two plates meet is what?
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)
What happens when oceanic plates meet?
If the plates are moving toward each other from opposite directions, the more dense oceanic plate will subduct in a conveyor belt like operation under the less dense continental plate. Transform plate boundaries occur where plates of any combination grind alongside each other and result in faults and earthquakes.
What does oceanic plates mean?
Oceanic plates are sections of the Earth's lithosphere that form the bedrock beneath the world's oceans. These plates are typically denser and younger than continental plates, and they are constantly moving due to the process of plate tectonics. Subduction zones are often found at the boundaries where oceanic plates meet continental plates.
Do tectonic plates meet where earthquakes often occur?
Yes, tectonic plates meet at their boundaries, where most earthquakes occur due to the movement and interaction of the plates. The two main types of plate boundaries that are associated with frequent seismic activity are transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other, and convergent boundaries, where plates collide or move towards each other.
What happens when 2 plates meet and one descends on the other?
Both plates shatter and fall on the floor in pieces. You need to be more careful!
Why do oceanic plates and a continental plates meet?
they bang
What can be found along the boundary where two plates meet?
A fault can be found, with many different kinds of faults forming depending on the conditions. Some faults are plates sliding beside each other (earthquakes), some are two continental plates pressing together (forming mountains, and some consist of one plate being pushed under the other (forming volcanoes).
Does breaks in the crust called faults form where plates meet?
Yes, faults are breaks in the Earth's crust where plates meet. These breaks allow movement to occur along the plate boundaries, resulting in earthquakes as the plates slide past each other.
