What else can I help you with?
When two plates move past each other what is formed?
When two plates move past each other, a transform fault boundary is formed. This boundary is characterized by horizontal motion, and the friction between the plates causes earthquakes along the fault line.
What do you call the area where two tectonic plates meet?
The area where two tectonic plates meet is called a plate boundary. At plate boundaries, interactions between the plates can result in processes like subduction, seafloor spreading, or continental collision.
A boundary where two plates meet and collide forming mountains is called a?
A boundary where two plates meet and collide forming mountains is called a convergent boundary. It is also known as destructive plate boundary.
What forms when two lithospheric plates move apart?
When two lithospheric plates move apart, a divergent boundary is formed. This process results in the creation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to fill the gap between the plates, forming a mid-ocean ridge.
Where two tectonic plates meet?
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
What surface feature is formed where two plates meet?
The surface feature formed when two plates meet is known as a fault. In some cases mountains can also be formed when two plates collide.
What are tectonic plates how were continents formed?
these are the plates under the land and they are spins round and when they meet and they form the continents
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
What is formed when two plates spread on Earth's crust?
Plates
What underwater ridge has formed where the North and South American plates meet the African and Eurasian plates?
The Juan De Fuca
What underwater ridge has formed where North and South American plates meet the African and Eurasian plates?
The Juan De Fuca
What is a string of islands formed from a collision of two ocean plates?
A string of islands formed from a collision of two oceanic plates is called an island arc.
What underwater ridge has formed where the North and South American plates meet the African and Eurasia n plates?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge
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.
What were boundaries?
Boundaries are where two tectonic plates meet.
Places where two or more plates meet?
A place where two or more roads meet is called a JUNCTURE.
When two tectonic plates push into each other the place the two plates meet is what?
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)
