An earthquake happens then a fault line is made
The force that occurs when plates are pushed together is called compressional force. This type of force causes the plates to collide and can lead to the formation of mountain ranges or subduction zones, depending on the type of plate boundary involved.
A conversion boundary is a place where 2 tectonic plates are mving toward each other. There are 3 types of convergent boundaries OCEANIC CRUST-OCEANIC CRUST OCEANIC CRUST-CONTINENTAL CRUST CONTINENTAL CRUST-CONTINENTAL CRUST They are classified according to their crust
Plates push together at convergent plate boundaries due to the movement of the underlying molten mantle material called convection currents. This movement causes plates to collide, leading to subduction where one plate is forced beneath another, or crustal compression where plates are pushed together. This process can result in the formation of mountain ranges or deep ocean trenches.
Both Plates are pushed upwards and rocks are folded and faulted to form mountain ranges. For Example this occurred in Europe when the Eurasian and African plates collided to form the Alps. And a Subduction zone is formed when a continental and Oceanic plates collide as the oceanic plate is forced downwards into the mantle.
The oceanic crust is pushed under the continental plate due to its higher density compared to the less dense continental crust. This process occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates collide. The denser oceanic plate subducts beneath the continental plate, leading to geological phenomena such as earthquakes and the formation of mountain ranges. Subduction zones are also associated with volcanic activity as the descending oceanic crust melts and can trigger magma formation.
The force that occurs when tectonic plates are pushed together is called "compression." This type of stress can lead to the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and other geological phenomena as the plates collide and interact with each other.

Plate tectonics is about thin oceanic plates knocking against larger continental plates. When both plates are pushed against each other by thermal actions of the underlying magma then the oceanic plates goes under the continental plate. As it is pushed down it melts and forms magma that rises to the surface and the magma pushes its way through the continental plate and creates volcanoes. The more the oceanic plate is pushed under the continental plate, the greater the potential for more volcanoes and more volcanic activity. Volcanoes can occur under the sea when two oceanic plates come together as well. This action can cause volcanic islands to form.

When two tectonic plates are pushed together, it forms a convergent boundary. This boundary leads to the creation of mountain ranges and deep ocean trenches.
the edges crumble and fold and if the foldedn crust can be pushed up high enough to form mountains.
The tectonic plates move because of the great amount of liquid rock, or magma that they 'float' on and get pushed by.
Pangaea (pronounced pan-GEE-uh), which means "all Earth" in Latin.
Both continental and oceanic plates float on the top surface of the mantle, which is divided into convection cells. The movement of these convection cells drag the plates along: where convection causes the mantle material to fall the plates are pushed together and where convection causes the mantle material to rise the plates are pulled apart.
