When plates collide it is called a convergent boundary.newtest3


What type of boundary is forward when plates collide?

What is the type of plate boundary where two plates collide?

A convergent boundary is where two plates collide. This can lead to the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.


What type of boundaries formed when plates collide?

Convergent boundary


What type of boundary is formed wen plates collide?

A convergent boundary is formed when plates collide. In this type of boundary, one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This collision can result in the formation of mountains, volcanic arcs, and deep-sea trenches.

When two plates collide what forms?

When two plates collide, it can form different geological features such as mountain ranges, deep-sea trenches, and volcanic arcs. The exact formations that occur depend on the type of collision, whether it's a convergent boundary where plates collide, or a transform boundary where plates slide past each other.


What tectonic plates are colliding?

The movement or action of the plate determines what type it is. When two plates collide, they are creating a convergent boundary. Therefore you could state that they are convergent (or colliding) tectonic plates.


What are converging boundaries?

A convergent boundary is when two plates collide with each other forming landforms like trenches, or mountains (depends which type of plates converge.)


What is a transverse boundary?

A transverse boundary is when two plates collide, causing great amounts of pressure. The plates crumble, and usually get destroyed. This is a very destructive type of boundary. This is also know as a transform boundary, or a sliding boundary- even though this action is the opposite of sliding.


This is also known as destructive boundary?

A destructive boundary is a certain type of boundary of a tectonic plate. Destructive boundaries make the plates move toards each other and eventually collide. This is why they are often called collision boundaries.
