What floor feature forms when two oceanic plates collide?
When two oceanic plates collide, a deep ocean trench is formed due to one plate being pushed under the other in a process known as subduction. This subduction zone can create volcanic activity and earthquakes in the region.
When tectonic plates collide the Earth's crust forms?
When tectonic plates collide they often form volcanoes or moutains. But when they slide past each other they create earthquakes...like in Haiti or Japan.
What factors are most important when determining the type of boundary that forms when two lithospheric plates collide?
i love it
When two plates collide what fault forms?
When two plates collide, a thrust fault forms. This type of fault occurs when one tectonic plate is forced over the top of another plate, causing the rocks to break and slide in a horizontal direction. Thrust faults are common in regions where compression is predominant, such as at convergent plate boundaries.
What happens and what forms when 2 continental plates collide?
When two continental plates collide, they can form mountain ranges due to the intense compression and uplift of the Earth's crust. This collision can also lead to the formation of earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. Over time, the collision can result in the merging of the two continental plates into a single larger landmass.
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 landform forms when two of earth's plates collide?
A mountain range forms when two of Earth's plates collide. The intense pressure and forces created by the collision push the Earth's crust upwards, creating towering peaks and ranges. Examples include the Himalayas formed by the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
What forms when 2 plates collide?
earthquakes
What kind of boundry forms when two plates collide?
A Convergence Boundary.
A rift valley forms where two plates do what?
collide into each other
Which type of force forms folded mountains?
The force that forms folded mountains is called compressional force. This force occurs when tectonic plates collide, causing the Earth's crust to be pushed together and folded, leading to the formation of mountains.
What floor feature forms when two oceanic plates collide?
When two oceanic plates collide, a deep ocean trench is formed due to one plate being pushed under the other in a process known as subduction. This subduction zone can create volcanic activity and earthquakes in the region.
When two oceanic plates collide what physical feature forms?
Mountains and grass
When tectonic plates collide the Earth's crust forms?
When tectonic plates collide they often form volcanoes or moutains. But when they slide past each other they create earthquakes...like in Haiti or Japan.
What are the 2 causes of mountain formation?
When two plates collide and one of them folds up. Or When a large piece of rock is pushed up by two plates pushing together, forming a plateau. The folding method rarely forms only a few or one mountain because the plates are large, therefore creating a range.
What stress forms folded mountains?
two plates collide and then their edges crumble like a paper
What forms when two tectoinc plates collide?
Usually either a mountain range, or a subduction zone.
