What are three ways tectonic plates interact with each other?

When plates slide past each other, move toward each other, and move away from each other.


What is formed when crustal plates move toward each other?

When crustal plates move toward each other, they can form convergent boundaries where one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can result in the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity in the area.


What do we call the boundary where the plates move toward each other?

Convergence Boundary.


Do convergent plates move away from each other?

they move against one another


When plates of the earth move toward each other or collide they -----r-e?

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.


What is it called when the plates are moving toward each other?

When tectonic plates move toward each other, it is known as a convergent boundary. This movement can result in subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other, or in the collision of two plates, leading to the formation of mountain ranges.


How is a transform boundary from a convergent boundary?

At a convergent boundary two plates move toward each other. At a transform boundary plates slide past each other.


What is it called when plates are moving toward each other?

This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.


What are plates moving toward each other?

Plates that move toasted each other are detractive plates meeting at a destructive margin. If a continental and an oceanic plate move towards each other, earthquakes and volcanoes occur, this is called a subduction margin, but if the plates are both continental then fold mountains form this is a collision margin


What are the three types of plate tectonic boundries?

The three types of plate tectonic boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.


What are name of the three sub-classes of tectonic plates?

The three main types of tectonic plate boundaries are convergent boundaries, where plates move toward each other; divergent boundaries, where plates move away from each other; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.


What kind of boundry occurs wherever two plates move toward each other?

A convergent boundary occurs when two plates move toward each other. This movement can result in subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other, or it can create mountain ranges and volcanic activity.
