What are plates moving away from one Another?
When plates move towards each other it is called a convergent boundary. The two types of plates converging depends on what happens. When it is oceanic/oceanic, both plates subduct (go downward), leading to the creating of trenches found at the depths of the ocean. When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate, again creating trenches, and also leading to the destruction of the ocean floor. When continental plates converge, they tend to smash up and rise, creating mountains. When plates move apart, it is called a divergent boundary. When oceanic plates move apart, magma rises, cools, and solidifies to create new ocean floor. This, along with continental/oceanic convergence, accounts for seafloor spreading. When two continental plates diverge, the area left between them slowly turns into an ocean. For an example of this type of ocean, look at the Red Sea.
When particles get heated up what happens?
Like cars, lots of things happen: they can "bounce" off each other, they can 'smash' into pieces, or they can pass right by each other.
How the different plates interact with one each other and what effect they have on the environment?
The plates in the Earths crust are always moving and occasionally the crash in to each other, the vast impact of the smash make the earth tremble and that is an earthquakes, they can also make tsunamis, and where the to plates meet they will keep pushing up into each other to make mountains.
Where do subduction boundarys occur?
Subduction boundaries occur where one tectonic plate sinks below another, typically in oceanic-continental or oceanic-oceanic plate interactions. These boundaries are associated with deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes due to the collision and subduction of the plates. Examples include the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate along the west coast of South America.
What is responsible for the continued uplift of many major mountain ranges?
The continued uplift of many major mountain ranges is primarily driven by tectonic forces, including the collision of tectonic plates and the resulting crustal compression. This process leads to the gradual uplift and building of mountain ranges over millions of years. Other factors like erosion and volcanic activity can also contribute to the shaping and growth of mountains.
THEORY OF PLATE TECHTONIC?
When the Continental Drift Theory applies; when two plates either collide, smash, or slide to move plate techtonics.

What happens when two plates tectonic move toward each other and smash together?
When two tectonic plates move toward each other and smash together, it can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. The collision can cause the plates to crumple, fold, or subduct beneath one another, depending on their density and composition. This process is known as plate convergence and plays a significant role in shaping Earth's geology.
What happens when you beat Super Smash Bros Brawl?
Play Super Smash Bros Brawl with other players.
What does plate tectonics have to do with volcanoes and earthquakes?
volcanoes: make the ground crumble and break and cause plates to move and smash earthquakes: makes the ground break and smash together and causes plates because they break when they hit each other.
Why does England have no volcanoes vor earthquakes?
well u need plates under the place that is about to erupt or eatrhquakes so to form the volcano u need two Continental plates because they are both light they smash in two another causing a moutin or a volcano if under the mantel a volcano but there is no plates under England hope it helped
If multiple tectonic plates smash together at the same time will they cause an earthquake in multiple places?
The earthquake will be a lot bigger but it will only affect the places near to where the plates smash together i think!
What happens when you drop jars?
They smash.
What happens if you smash your iPod?
It breaks.
What happens when one continetal and one oceanic plate collide?
Well the oceanic plate is usually lower than the continental plate so i think the ocianic plate will smash upward. I may be wrong...
What happens to you when i smash the computer?
you would be eletricuted
When were fold mountains formed?
this most common type of mountain is formed when two tectonic plates smash into each other the edges buckle and crumble,giving rise to long mountain chains~bobby from Texas
