What forms where two oceanic plates collide?
subduction zone
What forms at a convergent boundary?
A convergent boundary is a place where two plates collide, which can form earthquakes from the impact, and volcanoes. Mountains can also be formed by this process. The Himalayas were formed like this.
At a divergent boundary what feature forms when two oceanic plates are involved?
An oceanic trench is formed. Divergent boundaries pull away from each other, forming a cavern in the ocean floor. The Marianas Trench is a good example of a divergent boundary.
When two plates made of continental lithosphere collide what forms?
A mountain forms
What forms or happens when two continental plates collide?
mountains
What forms where two oceanic plates collide?
subduction zone
When two oceanic plates collide what physical feature forms?
Mountains and grass
What kind of boundry forms when two plates collide?
A Convergence Boundary.
What floor feature forms when two oceanic plates collide?
deep sea trench
Which of these does not occur at a convergent boundary?
a-plus new crust forms as plates collide
Is the Tambora on a convergent boundary?
Yes. Tambora is located where the Indian-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate collide. When two plates collide, it forms a convergent boundary.
What forms when oceanic plates collide?
1. Oceanic trenches. 2. Volcanic islands. 3. Volcanic mountains. and 4. Volcanic arcs.
What factors are most important when determining the type of boundary that forms when two lithospheric plates collide?
i love it
Which convergent plate boundary forms when two oceanic plates collide?
A DESTRUCTIVE or CONVERGENT plate boundary. e.g. Japan and the Pacific Ocean A DIVERGENT plate boundary is one in which the tectonic plates are separating/. e.g. The Mid-Atlantic ridge. A TRANSFORM plate boundary is one were the plates slide past each other. e.g. part of the San Andreas fault in California.
What are two ways volcanoes can forms near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
What do convergent plate boundary form?
Convergent plate boundaries can occur as a continental-continental, continental-oceanic, or oceanic-oceanic crust collision. A continental-continental collisions will typically result in a mountain range formation, such as the Himalayan Mountain Range. A continental-oceanic converging plate boundary will result in the more dense oceanic crust subducting beneath the less dense continental crust. The subduction zone leads to volcano formation from melting rock within the asthenosphere, beneath the continental crust. An example of this boundary is the west coast of the United States. An oceanic-oceanic converging plate boundary will typically result in one oceanic slab "sliding" beneath the other, due to only slight differences in density. This may form a volcanic island arc on the ocean floor, but may not necessarily reach above sea level.
