when two plates push together, it could either cause mountains or a subduction zone. When they cause mountains it's when two

When two tectonic plates push into each other the place the two plates meet is what?
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)
How many ways are there to measure earthquakes?
There are three different types of earthquake.TectonicvolcanicMan maidThere are 3 kinds of earthquakes. One where the plates push together, another where the plates slide against each other, and one where the plates pull apart.
Earthquakes result when forces push what along faults in earths lithosphere?
Earthquakes result when forces push plates along faults in the Earth's lithosphere. These plates are comprised of the crust and a portion of the upper mantle.
Why do volcanos occur more at locations where two plates meet?
The reason this occurs is because of subduction. The heat of the plates rubbing causes magma to rise forcing through the lithosphere (or crust). Thus causing alot of volcanos over convergent plates.
Where do volcanoes most commonly happen?
cracks in the plates which make up the crust. the earths crust is not connected. its made up of plates that moves and they are formed by plates pushing together then collapsing. they erupt when it gets a lot of friction from the plates pushing together
What is it called when plates push together?
Compressed
What word has the definition tectonic plates push together?
When tectonic plates push together, they converge, forming a convergent boundary.
What forms when plate push together?
when plates push together, it forms new land.
What is the place called where older crust is destroyed because two plates converge or push together?
magma
What Happens Gradually when plates push together?
in
You occur where plates with continental crust push together?
The subduction
Do convergent motion occurs where two plates push together?
yes it does
What forms when continental plates push together?
Volcanoes or sometimes earthquake!
These form when two continental plates push together?
convergent boundary
Does sea floor spreading happen when 2 plates push together?
yes it does
What are mountains that are formed by pushing plates together?
their was no mountains when you push the plates together they are just normal mountains and when you push them apart they formed a volcano and when plates pushed out under the earth they formed earthquake
How can the movement of tectonic plates create a mountain?
The plates push and pull and grind against each other they push together the force goes up and they form large mountains!
