When plates are actually coming towards each other, there can be two different boundaries: collision and destructive boundaries. In a collision boundary, there are earthquakes, and fold mountains are created from the plates pushing up against each other, like the Himalayas. When there is a destructive boundary, like the Eurasian and Pacific plates, the oceanic plate slides underneath the continental plate, being destroyed and causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. There are two other types of boundaries: conservative, where plates slide past each other, and constructive, where plates move away from each other.
The plates push and pull and grind against each other they push together the force goes up and they form large mountains!
the two plates are moving away from each other, and new crust is formed.
it caused iroquois tribes to fight each other.
When the tectonic plates push together over a period of time, sometimes they jolt, like recently with Japan. However, most were far more violent than that, infact the Himalaya's are basically two plates that hit each other and went straight up.

Is form when two plates collide; is caused by the force pushing against each other (the plates).
Earthquakes are caused when this happens.
Earthquakes are caused by things deep in the ground called plates. When plates shift and collide or rub against each other, that is when an earthquake is felt.
It creates mountians
collide into each other
they hug each other
they collide and create earthquake
The movement of the hot mantle has broken the crust apart into large plates.
fault line
A destructive plate boundary.
When plates of the earth move toward each other or collide they create compression, which can result in the formation of mountain ranges, seismic activity, and subduction zones.
Plates either move towards each other (convergent plates), away from each other (divergent plates) or slide next to each other (transform plates).
