What else can I help you with?
Where 2 plates moved apart from each other are called?
I'm guessing you're talking about the tectonic plates? Divergence.
What type of plate boundaries where 2 plates slide?
A Transform Boundary Is When Two Tectonic Plates Slide By One Another
What are the techtonic plates that slide past each other called?
Where 2 plates slide past each other in a horizontal motion that boundary is called a Transform Boundary, or a fault.
When 2 tectonic plates move towards one another the boundary between them is called?
Tectonic plates are the plates that move underground and cause volcanoes - I hope this answers your question. Z
What is it called when 2 plates are forced together forming a mountain?
When two tectonic plates are forced together, it creates a convergent plate boundary, where one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. The pressure and friction between the plates cause the Earth's crust to fold and uplift, leading to the formation of mountain ranges.
Where does subduction happen?
subduction occurs where 2 continents meet or where the tectonic plates meet. :)
What is it called when 2 tectonic plates collide?
convergence
What is it called when 2 tectonic plates pass each another?
earthquake

What is the name when 2 plates meet?
The meeting point of two plates is called a plate boundary. At plate boundaries, tectonic forces cause the plates to interact with each other, resulting in various geologic phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
Is it true that the continents close to the tectonic plates will have earthquakes?
No. Everything lies on a tectonic plate. Cities that lie near where 2 tectonic plates meet have earthquakes. Tectonic Plates expand and contract, and it is often that they expand and rub against each other. As they rub, they may overlap and cause an earthquake. Obvioulsy, a city directly above where they overlap will feel it more than a city which is in the middle of a tectonic plate.
Is Mt Eyjafjallajokull on 1 or 2 tectonic plates?
Mt Eyjafjallajökull (whew!) is on 2 different tectonic plates.
When 2 tectonic plates move away from one another the boundary between them is called?
a divergent plate boundary.
What is it called when 2 tectonic plates separate?
When two tectonic plates separate, it is called seafloor spreading. This process occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises from below the Earth's surface and solidifies.
What landform resulting from 2 continental plates colliding together?
Tectonic plates colliding generally form mountains.
What is 2 collision of 2 oceanic plates?
an earth quake happens when two plates meet
