What is the name of the boundary where two plates are moving toward one another?
Convergent boundary.
A convergent boundary causes what stress type?
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.
What type of boundary is the mariana trench?
The Mariana Trench is a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding and one plate is forced beneath the other.
In which direction do plates travel at a convergent boundary?
At a convergent boundary, plates move towards each other.
What force move convergent boundary?
At a convergent boundary, tectonic plates are typically pushed together by the force of subduction where one plate is forced beneath the other, or by collision where the plates directly collide with each other. This movement can be driven by the force of mantle convection, where heat from the Earth's core causes the mantle to flow in a circular motion.
What is the name of the boundary where two plates are moving toward one another?
Convergent boundary.
What are the types of convergent boundary?
There are 3 types of Convergent boundaries, they are; 1. Continental-continental convergent boundary. 2. Continental-oceanic convergent boundary. 3. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary.
A convergent boundary causes what stress type?
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.
What are the types of convergence?
There are 3 types of Convergent boundaries, they are; 1. Continental-continental convergent boundary. 2. Continental-oceanic convergent boundary. 3. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary.
What type of boundary is the mariana trench?
The Mariana Trench is a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding and one plate is forced beneath the other.
What type of boundary causes mountains?
Mountain-building is a result of continental collision, so destructive plate boundaries. One plate is destroyed by subduction below the other, which undergoes compression, buckling and uplift as the collision continues. This is happening at present in Asia, raising the Himalayan Mountains.
What are the 3 subtypes of convergent plate boundaries?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
What are the sub-types of convergent plates boundrys?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
What boundary is it where two plates push together?
An area where two tectonic plates collide is called a boundary. There are three kinds of boundaries. They are convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries.
What type tectonic plate boundary forms the Mariana trench?
A Transform Fault ZoneIn the textbook Earth Science and the Environment (4th Edition) by Thompson and Turk. Located on page 163, it shows that Tonga has a Convergent Boundary. A convergent boundary is where two lithospheic plates collide head on.
Is a transform boundary a type of convergent boundary?
no
What boundary is known as a destructive boundary '?
convergent
