A few things can happen when plates collide. The most well known is a phenomenon called subduction where a denser plate is pushed underneath another where it melts and is destroyed in the hot mantle. Another phenomenon is called mountain building where neither plate is pushed under the other but they are merged together in a series of broken sheets and folded into mountains.

What will happen if two plates crashed into each other?
If two plates crashed into each other two possible things can happen: 1 The plates bump into each other and can cause an earthquake. 2 The plates crash, then they go upwards to form a mountain or a volcano. ~Doraexplorer
What happens when two plates pull away from each other in opposite directions?
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
What happens when plates collide but no subduction occurs?
they hug each other
When two plates collide or crash into each other it is called a what boundary?
When two plates collide or crash into each other, it is called a convergent boundary. At these boundaries, one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges and volcanic activity.
What type of motion happens when tectonic plates slip by each other?
friction
What happens during this type of plate movement?
when the plates crash each other the earthquake happens
Do earthquakes only happen where plates converge?
no, earthquakes mainly happen when two plates crash each other or one plates goes under the other.
What happens when two continental plates crash into each other?
When two continental plates crash into each other, it results in the formation of mountain ranges due to the intense pressure and force generated by the collision. The crust buckles and folds, leading to the uplift of the Earth's surface. Subduction may also occur, where one plate is forced beneath the other, leading to the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic activity.

What causes volcanic activity in the middle of a lithosphere plate?
the plates crash over each other.
Why are there earthquakes?
The tectonic plates below the earth surface crash into each other forming a earthquake.
What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.
What happens when plates collide into each other?
It creates mountians
What happens when two plates pull away from each other in opposite directions?
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
Why do most form at plate boundaries?
This happens because the plates under the earths crust are always moving some times the plates crash into each other, this sometimes makes one plate sink under the other one and burning up, or pushing up.
How does mt form?
Mt's are formed when two or more tech tonics plates crash into each other!
What happens when plates collide but no subduction occurs?
they hug each other
