What happens when two continental plates crash into each other?
When two continental plates crash into each other, they crumple and fold. The crust is forced up, and mountains form, and earthquakes happen.
What are strong shaking movement of the Earths curst called?
These are called earthquakes, they are caused by two huge rock plates in the earth which crash into each other.
What is it called when the plates are moving toward each other?
This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.
What Are Plates Sliding Against Each Other Called?
I think you're referring to tectonic plates, there are 3 ways one is convergent boundary, divergent, and transform. Plates that slide against each other are called transform boundary's. And your welcome
When two plates slip pass each other is called?
an earthquake
When two plates collide or crash into each other it is called a what boundary?
convergent boundary

Do earthquakes only happen where plates converge?
no, earthquakes mainly happen when two plates crash each other or one plates goes under the other.
What will happen if two plates crashed into each other?
If two plates crashed into each other two possible things can happen: 1 The plates bump into each other and can cause an earthquake. 2 The plates crash, then they go upwards to form a mountain or a volcano. ~Doraexplorer
What happens during this type of plate movement?
when the plates crash each other the earthquake happens
What causes volcanic activity in the middle of a lithosphere plate?
the plates crash over each other.
Why are there earthquakes?
The tectonic plates below the earth surface crash into each other forming a earthquake.
What occurs on faults?
The tectonic plates underneath the earths crust are moving, and these plates crash into, and slide against each other. These places where the plates meet are called fault lines. Since the plates are constantly moving, there is a lot of pressure between the plates, and eventually, it needs to be released in the form of an earthquake.
How does mt form?
Mt's are formed when two or more tech tonics plates crash into each other!
What is it called when tectonic plates pass each other horizontlly?
Plates rubbing past each other is known as a transform boundary.
What is it called when the plates are moving toward each other?
This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.
