What is formed on the bottom of the ocean where two plates collide?
continental slope
How are fold mountains made?
Fold mountains are formed from the collision of continental tectonic plates. Since neither plate subducts under the other, the colliding plates wrinkle and fold like a rug being pushed into a wall.
What is formed when two plates collide into each other?
It depends on the type of crust involved. If both plates carry oceanic crust, an ocean trench is formed along with a volcanic island are on the overriding plate. If one plate carries oceanic crust and the other continental, you will get an ocean trench, a continental volcanic arc, and a mountain range. If both plates carry continental crust, then a mountain range is formed.
What type of geologic feature will form two continental plates collide ( Explain)?
Mountain ranges are formed when two continental plates collide. When they converge one plate will be forced slightly under the other one.
Why are oceanic plates lower than continental plates?
Because continental plates are denser than oceanic. That is why oceanic and continental plates cause subduction zones.
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
How are continental plates formed and how are they eventually destroyed?
How are the continental plants formed and how are they eventually destroyed ? (AS 1)
How was the Matterhorn in the Alps formed?
It was caused by the collision and subsequent thickening and uplift of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates.
When continental plates pull apart they form this?
rift valley Answer 2 Continents are formed when continental plates pull apart.
When continental plates pull apart they form?
rift valley Answer 2 Continents are formed when continental plates pull apart.
What kind of plate boundary were the alps formed from?
They are formed by the continental contienal plates
How deep trenches are formed?
Deep-ocean trenches are formed where seafloor tectonic plates subduct under continental plates.
When continental plates collide what types of mountains are formed?
fold mountains
What is formed on the bottom of the ocean where two plates collide?
continental slope
How is a mountain formed by colliding continental plates?
In theory, tectonic plates. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/tectonics.html
How are fold mountains made?
Fold mountains are formed from the collision of continental tectonic plates. Since neither plate subducts under the other, the colliding plates wrinkle and fold like a rug being pushed into a wall.
When two geologic plates are moving away from each other what happens?
When it is two continental plates, new oceanic crust is formed, and when this continues, more oceanic crust is formed between the plates.
