We believe that the proto-Earth, very early in the formation of our solar system, probably collided with another planet, one that might have been as large as Mars. The collision probably entirely re-formed the resultant Earth, and that the heavy metallic cores of both planets merged. Debris blasted into space by the collision probably coalesced to form the Moon.

Why is Earth going to collide with Mercury?
The Earth is not going to collide with Mercury. They both have stable orbits, and will stay millions of miles apart.
When do earthquakes strike?
When the earth's plates collide.
What will happen to are earth in a black hole?
Should Earth ever collide with a black hole, it would get destroyed.
When two tectonic plates collide what does it make?

Earth plates do not collide while revolving around sun?
earth plates can and do collide, even though the earth rotates around the sun
What planet did Earth once collide with?
Earth did not collide with a planet. If Earth collided with another planet, it would have been smashed to smithereens and wiped from existence, then over billions of years the debris would have formed into a series of lifeless moons. It is believed however that a large-ish object, most likely a small moon or large asteroid, did collide with the Earth. The debris from that impact is believed to have created the moon that orbits Earth. So, a planet did not collide with Earth. But it's possible a small moon or large asteroid did. This is only a theory, it has not been scientifically proven. The theory is called the "giant impact hypothesis".

Meteorites

Is the Andromeda galaxy ever going to collide with earth?
Not with earth specifically, but it will eventually collide with the Milky Way Galaxy. Galaxies are mostly empty space, so when this collision occurs the chances of earth suffering a collision as a result are negligible.
What were the causes of earthquake?
The plates under the Earth's surface collide together:)
What happens when two of the Earth's plates collide and one is forced underneath the other?
a earth quake happens
