What else can I help you with?
What occurs with plates when continental crust is pushed together?
An earthquake happens then a fault line is made
What forms when plates collide and one plate is pushed up over another plate?
a volcanoe! hope you found this helpfull! :)
Ocean plates are pushed down into the upper mantle in what?
Subduction Zones.
This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along horizontal plane?
This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along a horizontal plane.
What happens when 2 plates crash into each other?
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.
Why do mountains form when earths plates collide?
One plate tectonic, or fragment, is pushed underneath another plate which causes the other one to go nowhere else but up.
What happens when edges of tectonic plates when pushed together?
they shout help!!Vibrate and course friction
What occurs with plates when continental crust is pushed together?
An earthquake happens then a fault line is made
What happens under the sea that a tsunami has to take place?
When two tectonic plates move. For example one goes under another to cause water to be pushed up and more the plate moves higher the tsunami is.
Do tectonic plates only move by sliding past one another?
No. Subduction involves one plate being pushed under another.
Do volcanoes form when one plate is pushed under another plate and melting rock erupts on earths surface?
yes
What type of plate boundary is when one sinks beneath another?
A convergent plate boundary is where one of the plates is sinking beneath another, and the other one is being pushed on top of the subducting plate. This is called a subduction zone. This happens when denser, heavier oceanic crust meets less dense, thicker, continental crust.When two plates converge, and one is less dense, that plate goes under the more dense plate into the mantle, this is called subduction.subduction will happen and a volcano will be formed. when one plate slides beneath another one magma from earths mantle is being pushed up on earths surface.
What forms when plates collide and one plate is pushed up over another plate?
a volcanoe! hope you found this helpfull! :)
What happens to plates at a continental-continental collision?
the edges crumble and fold and if the foldedn crust can be pushed up high enough to form mountains.
What is the effect of plates pushed together?
an earthquake
What happens when tectonic plates get subducted?
they will form a mountain
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.
