Tectonic plates can be formed when two land masses collide over time (also how mountains can be formed). In this case however one land mass slides over the other. This can be very unstable though which is why earthquakes happen.
What else can I help you with?
What boundary formed when tectonics plate collide?
The boundary that is formed is called a Tranform Boundary
What physical process mainly formed the Great Smoky Mountains?
Plate tectonics
Are any of the mountains on the moon formed by plate tectonics?
No, the mountains on the moon are primarily formed by impact craters or volcanic activity, rather than plate tectonics. The moon does not have tectonic plates like Earth, so the geological processes that shape its surface differ from those on Earth.
Is plate tectonics the plural form of plate tectonics?
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
Which of geologic processes formed most of californias nonmetalic mineral resources?
plate tectonics
What is the process when mountains are formed again?
Plate Tectonics.
What type of rock is formed not by plate tectonics?
diamonds
Why are mountains lacated where they are?
Mountains are formed when the plate tectonics overlap
How was Tibetan plateau formed?
Because of convergent (plate tectonics).
What boundary formed when tectonics plate collide?
The boundary that is formed is called a Tranform Boundary
What physical process mainly formed the Great Smoky Mountains?
Plate tectonics
How are mountains formed by plate tectonics?
Mountains are formed by plate tectonics when tectonic plates collide or move past each other. This movement can cause the Earth's crust to fold, buckle, or uplift, creating mountain ranges.
How was the Sierra Madre del Sur formed?
It is the result of the plate tectonics interaction between the North American Plate and the Cocos Plate.
How do volcanoes help plate tectonics?
Volcanoes don't help plate tectonics; volcanoes are the result of plate tectonics.
What is The theory that describes large scales movements of the lithosphere called?
Plate tectonics
What are tectonic plates and how do they form?
plate tectonics are formed from the the volcano ashes laying down new surfaces
