What else can I help you with?
How could movement of tectonic plates create another supercontinent like pangaea?
If the movement of the plates brought all the continents together again, a single continent would form. At the moment plate movements are not heading in that direction.
What can tectonic plates form when they converge?
When tectonic plates converge, they can form features such as mountain ranges, deep-sea trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes. The collision and subduction of plates at convergent boundaries can also lead to the formation of island arcs and continental crust deformation.
What does it mean if a plate boundary is divergent?
When two tectonic plates are diverging, that means that they are coming apart. Depending whether or not they are oceanic plates or continental plates, the outcome will be different. If two oceanic plates diverge, a rift valley will occur in the ocean; if the same is with continental plates an rift vally will occur on the continent.
How are mountain ranges formed by tectonic plates?
Mountain ranges are formed when tectonic plates collide or converge. This collision forces one plate to fold and push upwards, creating elevated landforms. The immense pressure and movement between the plates can also cause earthquakes and volcanic activity, contributing to the formation of mountain ranges.
What forms when two oceanic plates converge?
When two oceanic plates converge, one plate subducts beneath the other due to differences in density. This can create deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs as magma rises to the surface. Over time, this process can form new oceanic crust and island chains.
What is the place called where older crust is destroyed because two plates converge or push together?
magma
Place where older crust is destroyed because two plates converge or push together?
continental-continental collision I think. When I got down to the last one, that was the only answer left.
Where is the place where older crust is destroyed because two plates converge?
A destructive plate boundary (usually a subduction zone).
What are the differences between convergence and divergence plates?
Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.
What are the differences between plate tectonic and tectonic plates?
Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.
What word has the definition tectonic plates push together?
When tectonic plates push together, they converge, forming a convergent boundary.
What is the place where older crust is destoyed because two plates converge or push together?
Convergent boundary...it's on my homework
Where older crust is destroyed because two plates press together?
convergent boundary
Why are convergent plate boundary's called convergent?
At convergent boundaries plates come together. In other words, they converge.
What forms when plates converge?
mountains
What are converging boundaries?
A convergent boundary is when two plates collide with each other forming landforms like trenches, or mountains (depends which type of plates converge.)
What happens when to plates converge on the earth?
it makes a baby
