What two types of crusts on earth are there?
The Earth's crust is broken up into a large pieces, which are called plates. Two types of plates are oceanic and continental
What is it called when two plates collide forming a mountain?
I think that when two continental plates collide it's called a collision margin, the mountains that then form are called fold mountains :)
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.
What is the inside of a two dimensional shape called?
The inside of a two dimensional shape is called the area.
What causes two continental plates to diverge?
An earth quake. This happens because the vibrations force the plates apart
What is The shifting and breaking of the surface rocks when two plates slide past each other deep inside the earth called?
an earthquake
What happens when the two plates slide past each other deep inside the Earth's crust?
An earthquake.

What is formed when two plates spread on Earth's crust?
Plates
How is the Earth formed?
two tectonic plates colide

What are the three types of earth's plates?
The three types of Earth's plates are convergent plates, where two plates move towards each other; divergent plates, where two plates move away from each other; and transform plates, where two plates slide past each other horizontally.
What is the difference between an earthquake an an and a fault?
Faults are actually the reason earthquakes start. A fault is two Techtonic Platesrubbing against each other, creating tension and stress. When thetension and stress overcomes the strength of the fault, the two plates slip/move,causing the ground to move in various ways, which is also called an earthquake.Techtonic Plates: plates made up of the earths crust that are moving along alayer of magma inside the earth,called the mantle.

What is the place where two plates come together called?
The place where two plates come together is called a "plate boundary." These boundaries can be classified as convergent, divergent, or transform based on how the plates are moving in relation to each other.
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
What is 2 collision of 2 oceanic plates?
an earth quake happens when two plates meet
