When continental plates pull apart they form this?
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
When continental plates collide what happens to the oceanic crust between them?
When the continental plates collide the oceainc cust gets stuck and eventually evaporates
These are formed when oceanic plates slide under continental plates?
When oceanic plates slide under continental plates they form subduction zones. Subduction zones always occur at convergent boundaries where one plate slides beneath another plate.
If two continental plates converge a subduction zone forms?
False! When two continental plates converge a mountain range is formed. This is what formed and is continuing to "build" the Himalayan mountain chain.Subduction zones form where oceanic crust converges with and is forced under continental crust, or younger more buoyant oceanic crust.
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
Which continental plates formed the Matterhorn?
Europe and Africa

How deep trenches are formed?
Deep-ocean trenches are formed where seafloor tectonic plates subduct under continental plates.
When continental plates collide what happens to the oceanic crust between them?
When the continental plates collide the oceainc cust gets stuck and eventually evaporates
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.
