Do convergent motion occurs where two plates push together?
yes it does
What type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move towards each other?
This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
What is it call when plates come together?
It is called a "convergent boundary".
The places between plates moving together are called?
faults.
What are the places between plates moving together called?
convergent boundaries
What motion is where 2 plates push together creating a reverse fault?
Thrust or compressive motion.

This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
What relationship exists between the location of earthquakes and the location of volcanoes?
Both Volcanoes and earthquakes are located where plates of the earth's crust are coming together. This motion and interaction at the edges of the plates is called plate tectonics.
Describe how the presence of faults and folds supports the idea that lithospheric plates are in motion?
Faults and folds just support the idea that there lithospheric plates are in motion because folds appear when the plates move towards each other. The faults appear when the plates drift apart and cause an empty space.
Describe the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristics of each motion?
One of the three types of plates are the transform plates slip past each other. The convergent plates push together. The divergent plates pull away from each other.

What do scientists called the theory that describes the motion of the plates?
Plate Tectonics
What is it called when plates push together?
Compressed
How would you describe the Motion of plates in a convergent boundary?
Moving together
What happens to lithospheric plates when an earthquake occurs?
Lithospheric plates, which also are called tectonic plates, move towards or away from each other when an earthquake occurs.
What are the techtonic plates that slide past each other called?
Where 2 plates slide past each other in a horizontal motion that boundary is called a Transform Boundary, or a fault.
