What else can I help you with?
When two plates collide causing crust to deform but not break is called?
This is called a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, two tectonic plates move toward each other, resulting in compression and deformation of the Earth's crust. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges or deep-sea trenches.
Most of the geological activity at the surface of earth takes place at boundaries between?
Most of the geological activity at the Earth's surface takes place at boundaries between tectonic plates. These boundaries can be convergent (where plates collide), divergent (where plates move apart), or transform (where plates slide past each other).
When two continental plates collide what happens?
When two continental plates collide they form mountains .
What is another name for tectonic plates and how do they contribute to the movement of the Earth's crust?
Tectonic plates are also known as lithospheric plates. These plates are large pieces of the Earth's crust that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. The movement of these plates is driven by the heat from the Earth's core, causing them to collide, separate, or slide past each other. This movement is responsible for various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
Plates in the earth fit together like?
puzzle pieces, forming the Earth's lithosphere. These plates interact at their boundaries, where they can collide, move apart, or slide past each other, resulting in various geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What happens when two of the Earth's plates collide and one is forced underneath the other?
a earth quake happens
What is it called when plates of the earth move towards each other or collide?
fault line
What happens duruing an earthquake?
The plates in the earth collide and one goes under the other
How do eathquakeaccur?
tectonic plates under the earth's crust collide or rub against each other
When tectonic plates collide the Earth's crust forms?
When tectonic plates collide they often form volcanoes or moutains. But when they slide past each other they create earthquakes...like in Haiti or Japan.
Why does the earth shake when the earthquake occurs?
The tectonic plates of the earth shift and move. They overlap and collide with each other which makes the earth shake!
What are the different movements of the earth's crust?
seafloor spreading occurs when oceans widen and continents separate.convergent plate movements occurs when two plates collide toward each other.divergent plate movement is the moving away of plates from each other.transform plate movement occurs when two plates are sliding horizontally with each other.:)
What is it called when pressure builds up in a rock or when other pieces of the Earth's crust collide?
Convergence of tectonic plates, which can cause earth quakes and tsunamis.
What are the results of the collisions among tectonic plates?
EVen if the tactonic plates come close to each other there is a earth quake. If they collide then that most likely splitting of the world

Are most volcanoes on land caused by the Earth's plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.
What occurs when two plates collide and one of the plates dips below the other?
It is called subduction. When subduction occurs one plate slips beneath the other and sinks into the Earth's mantle and creates a trench.
