It depends on the type of crust involved. If both plates carry oceanic crust, an ocean trench is formed along with a volcanic island are on the overriding plate. If one plate carries oceanic crust and the other continental, you will get an ocean trench, a continental volcanic arc, and a mountain range. If both plates carry continental crust, then a mountain range is formed.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when plates collide but no subduction occurs?
they hug each other
What is the definition of colliding boundary?
these boundaries are formed when two plates collide. When the two plate bump one plate is absorbed in the mantle of the other. Heat and pressure when these plates collide causes volcanoes and earthquakes.
How does a mountain range form?
Is form when two plates collide; is caused by the force pushing against each other (the plates).
What are the three types of plate tectonic boundries?
The three types of plate tectonic boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
When tectonic plates collide the Earth's crust forms?
When tectonic plates collide they often form volcanoes or moutains. But when they slide past each other they create earthquakes...like in Haiti or Japan.
What happens when plates collide into each other?
It creates mountians
A rift valley forms where two plates do what?
collide into each other
What happens when plates collide but no subduction occurs?
they hug each other
What happens when two plates move each other?
they collide and create earthquake
How are mountains and oceans formed?
Mountains are formed by the movement of tectonic plates, where plates collide and push against each other, causing the Earth's crust to fold and uplift. Oceans are formed from depressions in the Earth's crust that fill with water over time, often due to the shifting of tectonic plates or volcanic activity.
What is the definition of colliding boundary?
these boundaries are formed when two plates collide. When the two plate bump one plate is absorbed in the mantle of the other. Heat and pressure when these plates collide causes volcanoes and earthquakes.
Major mountain ranges are formed when crustal plates are what?
Major mountain ranges are formed when crustal plates collide. The intense pressure and forces generated by the collision force the Earth's crust to buckle and uplift, forming mountain ranges.
What is it called when plates of the earth move towards each other or collide?
fault line
Which boundary am i when plates collide into each other i can create mountains?
A destructive plate boundary.
When plates of the earth move toward each other or collide they -----r-e?
When plates of the earth move toward each other or collide they create compression, which can result in the formation of mountain ranges, seismic activity, and subduction zones.
How does a mountain range form?
Is form when two plates collide; is caused by the force pushing against each other (the plates).
Is it true that earthquakes are formed by the heat of the sun and the coldness of the ocean?
No, earthquakes happen as the result of Earth's tectonic plates moving. Tectonic plates are what make up the lithosphere, the top layer of the crust. When the plates move, they either rub against each other, called "shearing", collide with each other, "compression", or they move away from each other, "tension". As the plates move, the rumbling earthquake occurs.
