It's referred to as a Convergent Boundary If 2 Continental Plates --> Mountains
If 2 Oceanic Plates --> Subduction of Heavier (older) Plate
If Continental-Oceanic --> Oceanic Plate slides under the Continental Plate (Subduction of Oceanic)
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.
When two tectonic plates slide past each other, it is called transform boundary. This movement can create earthquakes along the boundary where the plates are in contact.
Bali is located on two tectonic plates, the Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. These plates interact along the Sunda Megathrust, which can result in seismic activity in the region.
When two tectonic plates separate, it is called seafloor spreading. This process occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises from below the Earth's surface and solidifies.
Mt Eyjafjallajökull (whew!) is on 2 different tectonic plates.
two tectonic plates colide
two tectonic plates colide
Tectonic plates are plates underneath the ground we stand on that help to form the structure of the earth, when two tectonic plates colide they create terrains such as mountains. they have also been known to cause some Tsunami's.
on the table
two of the same plates colide
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)
Divergent plates. They form a divergent plate boundary.
Convergent Boundary
Underwater mountain chains that form where two tectonic plates are pulling apart are called mid ocean ridges. The largest is the Mid Atlantic Ridge.
They are called rift volcanoes.
The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic.
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.
