What is the outcome when oceanic plates collide with continental plates?

When oceanic plates collide with continental plates, the denser oceanic plate is subducted beneath the lighter continental plate. This process leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs on the continental side. Additionally, intense seismic activity and mountain building may occur along the boundary.


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.


Does conservative plate boundary have continental plate in it?

not nescessarily. It could be two plates of any kind rubbing against each other. Sometimes it is two continental plates or one of each.


Could the earth's magnetic poles be the cause of continental drift?

No, the Earth's magnetic poles are not responsible for continental drift. Continental drift is primarily driven by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's lithosphere. The Earth's magnetic field does play a role in plate tectonics through magnetic stripes on the ocean floor, but it is not the primary cause of continental drift.


Plate boundary ?

Where two plates meet. They could hate each other and push, collide or even move apart after a harsh fight cause they were not good broskis they had no BOUNDARIES

What could happen two plates collide?

If two plates were to collide they would either go up over the surface and form a volcano, or they would collide and go downward forming a trench or a large crevice.


What tectonic plates are colliding?

The movement or action of the plate determines what type it is. When two plates collide, they are creating a convergent boundary. Therefore you could state that they are convergent (or colliding) tectonic plates.


The collision of two tectonic plates produces a volcano what types of plates could be involved?

two seafloor plates and a seafloor plate and continental plate

How could movement of tectonic plates create another supercontinent like pangaea?

If the movement of the plates brought all the continents together again, a single continent would form. At the moment plate movements are not heading in that direction.


As the plates continue to grind against each otherwhat other geologic event could take place?

As the plates grind against each other, it can lead to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges. The friction between the plates can cause stress to build up until it is released suddenly, resulting in these geologic events.

What type of forces in the earth's crust could uplift large areas?

This is easy. So basically, there are plates of the Earth's crust moving around, and that is why continents are moving around. When two continental plates collide, then since the two plates are of the same density, they both lift Each other up. For Example, the Himalayas are made by the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate because they are convergent, or they are ramming into each other. Hope this helps.:)
