What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonics plates?

Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.

Which of these forms when plates collide and one plate is pushed up over another?

A mountain range forms when plates collide and one plate is pushed up over another. The collision causes intense compression, leading to the folding and uplifting of the Earth's crust to create mountainous regions. This process is known as continental collision or orogenesis.


What is the difference between subduction zone and collision zone destrutive plate margin?

A subduction zone and a collision zone are the same place, a collision just happens earlier, when the crusts of the two plates are interacting. Later, when the crust of one plate is being forced under the crust of another plate into the mantle, it becomes a subduction zone.


Three examples of continent or oceanic plates colliding?

Aleutians: Two oceanic plates Appalachians: Two continental plates Andes: One continental plate, one oceanic plate North American Cordillera: One island plateau, one continental plate Aleutian mountains are those that form when two oceanic plates collide. The Appalachians formed when two continents collided. Andean-type mountains form when oceanic crust is subducted under continental crust. The North American Cordillera is an example of arc-continent collision, which is when island plateaus join a continent.


What type of plate collision does not result in subduction of one plate under the other?

A divergent boundary does not result in the subduction of one plate under the other.


Deep ocean trenches are evidence for?

Deep ocean trenches are evidence for plate tectonics, showing where one tectonic plate is subducting beneath another. These trenches form at convergent boundaries when the denser oceanic plate sinks into the mantle. The presence of deep ocean trenches also indicates areas of seismic activity and potentially tsunamis.


What is the process of a oceanic plate colliding with a continental plate?

Its when the oceanic crust and the continental crsut colide together.


Could the collision of one continental plate with another may produce oceans?

Yes, the collision of continental plates can result in the formation of mountains, but not oceans. When two continental plates collide, their edges crumple and push upward to form mountain ranges. Oceans are typically formed from the separation of plates, when oceanic crust is pulled apart allowing magma to rise and form new crust.
