Depends on the type of tectonic plate. If it is two continental plates, usually a mountain range will be formed and the plates will 'lock' together due to their thickness. The Indian sub-continent colliding with the eurasian plate is one example. If an oceanic plate is subducting under a continental plate an island arc can be formed or mountain range such as Japan and the Andies mountains respectively. This type is also where volcanoes will be commonly found unlike the collision of two continental plates, due to the magma formed from the subduction of the oceanic plate. If two oceanic plates collide, usually form an oceanic mountain range and lock together similar to the continental plates.
What else can I help you with?
What makes Earthquakes happened?
Tectonic plates shifting around while bumping into another tectonic plate. When the plates slide pass each other, it creates a transform boundary which makes earthquakes.
What causes colliding plates?
tectonic movement can cause tectonic plates to collide, drift apart, or slide across one another
What faulting in earthquakes?
A fault is a break in Earth's crust along which blocks of rock slide relative to one another. A fault can occur within a tectonic plate's boundaries. Boundaries between tectonic plates are always faults.
What is the name of the two plates that slide past each other rubbing against each other and creates earthquakes?
pacific and north American plate! San Andreas fault!
What are the volcano prone areas of the world?
There are many areas around the world where volcanoes reside. Most volcanoes are near plate boundaries (see "what are tectonic plates?") because this is where lava from the mantle is forced upward, to the surface. Volcanoes formed in the middle of plates are formed from "hot spots", regions where hot rock and magma are forced to the surface from deep in the mantle in tube-like formations. As plates slide across these hot spots, lines of volcanoes are formed.
What type of plate boundaries where 2 plates slide?
A Transform Boundary Is When Two Tectonic Plates Slide By One Another
What happens when one tectonic plate slides against another?
An earthquake or tremmor may happen if the slide is strong enough.
Which plate margin is where the crust is neither formed or destroyed?
The plate margin where the crust is neither formed nor destroyed is called a transform boundary. At these boundaries, tectonic plates slide past one another horizontally, causing friction and leading to earthquakes. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
What makes an earthquake?
Tectonic plates shifting around while bumping into another tectonic plate. When the plates slide pass each other, it creates a transform boundary which makes earthquakes.
What are 3 features on earths surface formed by plates tectonic activity?
Three features on Earth's surface formed by tectonic plate activity include mountains, earthquakes, and ocean trenches. Mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas, are created by the collision and uplift of tectonic plates. Earthquakes occur along fault lines where plates slide past each other, releasing energy. Ocean trenches, like the Mariana Trench, are formed at subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another, creating deep underwater valleys.
What makes Earthquakes happened?

What do tectonic plates do at transform plate boundaries?
They slide past each other horizontally.
What is a plate called that slide past each other?
I believe that you are thinking of tectonic plates.
Does plate slide under another plate at a divergent plate boundary?
Yes it does!
Are plate tectonic plate boundaries?
There are three main types of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally. Each type of boundary has its own characteristic geologic features and tectonic activity.
Where does Gravity pulls tectonic playes?
Gravity pulls the tectonic plates downward, causing them to slide and collide with each other. This movement is a key driver of processes such as subduction, where one plate is forced beneath another, and the creation of mountain ranges.
How are the continental plates formed and how are they eventually destroyed?
Continental plates are formed through the accumulation of sediments and volcanic activity, as well as the processes of plate tectonics, where tectonic plates collide, diverge, or slide past one another. Over time, these processes can lead to the creation of mountains, rift valleys, and other geological features. Continental plates can be destroyed through subduction, where one plate moves under another and is forced into the mantle, leading to melting and recycling of materials. Additionally, tectonic activity can cause fragmentation and erosion of continental plates, further contributing to their destruction.
