What happens when two oceanic plates meet?

When two oceanic plates meet, one plate is usually forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity. Earthquakes can also occur along the boundary between the two plates.


What happens when two continentialplates meet?

When two continental plates meet, they often collide, leading to the formation of mountain ranges due to the intense pressure and compression. This process, known as orogeny, can also result in earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. Unlike oceanic plates, continental plates are less dense and do not subduct, which contributes to their uplift and creates complex geological features.
