What is happening to the plates to form Mt Rainer?
The plates are moving towards each other and they collide.
Does the fact that ocean crust is older the farther away it is from an ocean ridge support the theory of plate tectonics?
Yes. New ocean crust is being formed at the mid ocean ridges (MORs) resulting in the older crust being pushed farther away, moving the plates towards a subduction zone. MORs divide 2 plates.
When 2 tectonic plates move towards one another the boundary between them is called?
Tectonic plates are the plates that move underground and cause volcanoes - I hope this answers your question. Z
What are landforms in Africa?
Land forms are the different types of land fromed by the earth's plates moving towards each other, or apart from each other.
What is it when plates move farther and farther apart?

Is they are moving away from each other it is a divargent boundryif they are moving towards each other it is a convergent bounderyIf they are sliding pass each other its a transormation boundery

What are the places between the plates moving past each other called?
When two touching plates are moving in opposite directions, this is a Transform Boundary.When two plates are dividing, this is a Divergent Boundary.When two plates are moving towards each other and colliding, this is a Convergent.***Here's a little Science Cheer to help you remember**When I say Converge, you say....COLLIDEWhen I say Diverge, you say.....DIVIDEWhen I say Transform, you say.... SLIDE
