What is the name of the boundary where two plates collide?
coliding boundary
What is the name of the outer most layer of the Earth where earthquakes occur?
The outermost layer of the Earth where earthquakes occur is called the crust. It is divided into large tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid mantle below, and when these plates shift or collide, earthquakes can happen.
Where is the place where two plates collide and one goes on top of the other?
This process typically occurs at subduction zones where two tectonic plates converge, with one plate being forced beneath the other into the Earth's mantle. This can result in the formation of volcanic arcs and deep ocean trenches.
Name all the landforms in New Jersey.?
many
What are 4 agents that cause landforms to change?
Four agents that cause landforms to change are weathering (physical or chemical breakdown of rocks), erosion (transportation of weathered material), deposition (settling of eroded material), and tectonic activity (movement of Earth's lithosphere plates).
What is another name where the plates collide each other?
Another name would be a subduction zone.
What is the name of the boundary where two plates collide?
coliding boundary
Name 5 kinds of landforms caused by plate movement?
Mountains - formed by convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and are pushed upward. Rift valleys - formed by divergent plate boundaries where plates move apart, creating a depression in the earth's crust. Faults - fractures in the earth's crust caused by plates rubbing against each other. Folded mountains - created by the folding of rock layers due to compression at convergent plate boundaries. Volcanoes - formed at convergent and divergent plate boundaries where magma rises to the surface through the crust.

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.
Can you name a synonym for landforms?
no
Fold mountain location and name of one example?
Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide, causing the Earth's crust to crumple and fold. An example of a fold mountain range is the Himalayas in Asia, which were formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
Name the plates that have created the San Andreas fault?
The Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
What is a name of land on which grass grows?
No, grassesare not a landforms because they are not created by erosion, weathering, or deposition. They are renewable resources.

Name any three type of plates?
Dinner plates, tectonic plates, and Norman Rockwell collectible plates.
