In the mantle, there is a fluid-like layer called the asthenosphere which has convection currents, due to the heat of the inner core. Earth's plates are hypothetically "floating" on the asthenosphere. The currents in this layer push whatever is on top of it, thus the continents move.
When tectonic plates converge, they can form various geological features such as mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanoes. This convergent boundary can result in one plate being pushed beneath the other in a process known as subduction.
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
The link has the information you asked for.
Converging tectonic plates pushed together and they bent and pushed up word causing the mountains to be formed.
Constructive because two tectonic plates pushed together and pushed it up.
they shout help!!Vibrate and course friction
The tectonic plates move because of the great amount of liquid rock, or magma that they 'float' on and get pushed by.
it was simply just tectonic plates that pushed the lava through.
oceanic trenches occur where tectonic plates collide and one is pushed underneath the other.
When two tectonic plates are pushed together, it forms a convergent boundary. This boundary leads to the creation of mountain ranges and deep ocean trenches.
they are plates that the earth's crust is divided up into they cause earthquakes when slide together, create mountains when pushed together, and created trenches when pulled apart for more information type this question in: tectonic plates help more info

Granite, when uplifted by the movement of tectonic plates, is more likely to become a mountain as it gets pushed up towards the Earth's surface. This process is a result of the immense pressure and forces exerted by the tectonic plates colliding or moving past each other.
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
