this depends on the two plates that collide. Ocean plates are much heavier than continental plates. If an ocean and continental plate collide, the ocean plate sinks underneath and creates a trench. If two ocean plates or two continental plate collide, it creates a mountain range/ oceanic ridge depending on the type.
What else can I help you with?
Are waves created by tectonic plates?
Yes, and, no. Yes, waves are created by tectonic plates during an earthquake (When two or more tectonic plates rub together and make huge vibrations) and even cause tsunami waves. Waves are not formed when the plates are still, though.
Where do plates come together?
The place where tectonic plates come together is named an Destructive Boundary
What tectonic plates are the Himalayas on?
The Himalayas are on the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate.
What kind of rock is pressed and squeezed together?
When land is sqeezed together it is because tectonic plate are moving and crashing into each other. When the plates ceash into each other they can create a mountain. But if they rubb up against each other they can create a earthquake.
What is the name of the place where the tectonic plates meet?
The place where tectonic plates meet is called a plate boundary. These boundaries can be categorized as convergent, divergent, or transform, depending on how the plates are interacting with each other.
What is the crashing of the earth's tectonic plates called?
== == Convergent plate collision.
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What are the differences between plate tectonic and tectonic plates?
Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.
What word has the definition tectonic plates push together?
When tectonic plates push together, they converge, forming a convergent boundary.
Are waves created by tectonic plates?
Yes, and, no. Yes, waves are created by tectonic plates during an earthquake (When two or more tectonic plates rub together and make huge vibrations) and even cause tsunami waves. Waves are not formed when the plates are still, though.
How do the alps form?
by two plates crashing together
What are tectonic plates help?
they are plates that the earth's crust is divided up into they cause earthquakes when slide together, create mountains when pushed together, and created trenches when pulled apart for more information type this question in: tectonic plates help more info
What kind of boundary do tectonic plates move together?
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
Where do plates come together?
The place where tectonic plates come together is named an Destructive Boundary
Are all mountains alike?
No. All mountains are not alike. Some are created by volcanic activity. Some are created by continental plates crashing together. Others by faulting.
How are montains formed?
Tectonic plates pushing together.
Why are most of the earthquakes and volcanoes located at the border of the tectonic plates?
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
