When tectonic plates collide and the direction of the forces is primarily perpendicular, the plates push up forming a mountain. The Himalayan Mountains are formed by the collision of two plates and are still growing. The summit of Mount Everest is, in fact, marine limestone.

When ocean plates collide with continental plates the denser ocean plate?
sinks
What leads to the creation of island arcs?
When two ocean plates collide.
What landform forms when two of earth's plates collide?
Mountains, get pushed up when two plates collide.
What is formed when two crustal plates collide what surface feature is created?
earthquakes
What type of geologic feature will form where two continental plates collide explain?
Mountain ranges are formed when two continental plates collide. When they converge one plate will be forced slightly under the other one.
Are formed when two ocean plates collide?
volcanoes in an island arc
What is formed on the bottom of the ocean where two plates collide?
continental slope
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
When ocean plates collide with continental plates the denser ocean plate?
sinks
What is formed when two ocean plate collide?

What type of boundary is formed when plates collide?
When plates collide it is called a convergent boundary.newtest3
When ocean plates collide with continental plates what does the denser plate do?
sinks
When two oceanic plates collide it creates?
when two oceanic plates collide they create a deep-ocean trench, at deep-ocean trenches subduction occurs.
How a trench formed?
a trench is formed when 2 oceanic plates collide
When oceans plates collide with continental plates the denser ocean plate does what?
sinks
When ocean plates collide with continental plates the denser oceanic plate?
sinks
What land form is created by tectonic plates crashing together?
this depends on the two plates that collide. Ocean plates are much heavier than continental plates. If an ocean and continental plate collide, the ocean plate sinks underneath and creates a trench. If two ocean plates or two continental plate collide, it creates a mountain range/ oceanic ridge depending on the type.
