What else can I help you with?
What is formed when plate boundaries collide?
Mountains.
What is the where 2 tectonic plates meet called?
a plate boundary there are constructive plate boundaries, destructive plate boundaries, conservative plate boundaries and collision plate boundaries
Are plate tectonic plate boundaries?
There are three main types of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally. Each type of boundary has its own characteristic geologic features and tectonic activity.
What are plate broundires?
It seems like there may have been a typo in your question. Did you mean plate boundaries? If so, plate boundaries are the lines where tectonic plates meet. There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other.
What is it called when pieces of continental crust collide with a convergent boundry?
When pieces of continental crust collide at a convergent boundary, it is called continental collision. This collision can result in the formation of mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas from the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate.
What is formed when plate boundaries collide?
Mountains.
What type of plate movement creates folding mountains?
Mountains form along convergent boundaries when 2 plates collide. These are also called colliding boundaries.

What is it called when one plate is pushed another plate as they collide?
subduction boundary!!!

Are the plate boundaries the same as the edges of continents?
No. Not all plate boundaries are at the edges of continents, nor do all edges of continents correspond with plate boundaries. Many plate boundaries are found in the middle of oceans, while the continent of Africa is being torn apart by a developing plate boundary. Some edges of continents, such as the west coast of South America are near plate boundaries. These are called active continental margins. Others, such as the east coast of North America, are nowhere near plate boundaries. These are called passive continental margins.
At which of the above boundaries is sea floor destroyed?
Sea floor is destroyed at convergent boundaries where two tectonic plates collide. One plate is forced underneath the other in a process called subduction, leading to the destruction of the denser oceanic plate.
Why don't earthquake follow plate boundary lines exactly?
Its because the plate boundaries collide with eachother causing the earth to shake.

What are the three types of plate boudaries?
The three types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
No, subduction is not common at divergent plate boundaries. Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by plates moving away from each other, which creates new oceanic crust. Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and one descends beneath the other.
