What do you think happens to earth's crust when plates move toward each other?
When plates move toward each other, it can result in a convergent boundary where one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity. The intense pressure and friction can cause earthquakes as well.
When plates moved toward each other they were described as?
convergant plate boundries
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
Most volcanoes on land are caused by the Earth's plates moving toward each other, a process known as convergent plate boundary. When two plates converge, the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanoes along the subduction zone.
When continental plates moves toward each other what kind of plate boundary is that called?
When continental plates move toward each other, it is called a convergent plate boundary. This can lead to the collision and subduction of the plates, causing mountain building and deep ocean trench formation.
What happens when convergent plate movement occur?
A convergent boundary of two plates will push together. If it is two continental crusts, then they will both push upward, forming mountains. If it is a continental crust pushing against an oceanic crust, then the oceanic crust will go underneath, melt, and be recycled because the oceanic crust is less dense than the continental crust.
How does an earthquake happen in order?
first the plates move towards or along each otherone of them (mostly the oceanic plate)the pressure of the plate moving toward each other is released and an earthquake happens
How do plate movements form oceans trenches?
As plates move toward each other, one plate sinks under the other plate.
What forces push at angles toward each other in plate techtonics?
Convergent plate boundaries are locations where two tectonic plates move toward each other, resulting in compression forces that push at angles toward each other. This can lead to subduction zones, mountain building, and earthquakes.
What type of forces pull plate toward each other?
compression :)
What is called when two plate boundararys are moving toward each other?
When two plate boundaries are moving toward each other, it is called a convergent boundary. This can lead to subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other, or collision, where the two plates create mountain ranges.

What happens when plate tectonics bump into each other?
an earth quake
When plates moved toward each other they were described as?
convergant plate boundries
What happens during this type of plate movement?
when the plates crash each other the earthquake happens
What often happens when the plate tectonics grind past each other?
Earthquakes
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
Most volcanoes on land are caused by the Earth's plates moving toward each other, a process known as convergent plate boundary. When two plates converge, the denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanoes along the subduction zone.
What force pulls tectonic plates toward each other?
The force that pulls tectonic plates toward each other is known as "slab pull." This occurs when a dense oceanic plate descends into the mantle at a subduction zone, generating a gravitational force that pulls the rest of the plate along with it.
