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 the line called where plates meet?
The line where plates meet is called a plate boundary. Plate boundaries can be categorized into three main types: divergent boundaries where plates move away from each other, convergent boundaries where plates move towards each other, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other horizontally. These boundaries are dynamic areas where tectonic forces shape the Earth's surface through processes like subduction, seafloor spreading, and earthquakes.
What happens when 2 plates crash into each other?
A few things can happen when plates collide. The most well known is a phenomenon called subduction where a denser plate is pushed underneath another where it melts and is destroyed in the hot mantle. Another phenomenon is called mountain building where neither plate is pushed under the other but they are merged together in a series of broken sheets and folded into mountains.
What land form is created by tectonic plates crashing together?
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 plate boundary can create mountains and volcanoes?
Mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas, were formed when 2 plates collided. When 2 tectonic plates crash together, the force pushes the plate boundaries upward and create mountains. So, mountains are formed by convergent plate boundaries. By, Heather (11) ADDED: Correct, though the collision is more a steady push than a "crash". The Himalayas are still forming, with the up-lift slightly faster than the erosion, as India is still colliding with the Asian continental plate.
What is it called when 2 plates crash into each other?
Collision, Mountains, Ridges. I think that is what you are asking. :)
Places where tectonic plates come together?
Tectonic plates come together at convergent boundaries. Some examples include the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate along the west coast of the United States, where the plates are converging and creating the Cascade Range of mountains. Another example is the boundary between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, where the plates are colliding and creating the Himalayas.

What is another word for crash?
Collide.
What is the meaning of collide?
Collide means to put two things together as in a car crash. A collision

How do moving plates change earth's crust?
It changes because when the 2 tectonic plates collide they form mountains and volcanoes. Also with Alfred Weigners hypothesis the continents are always moving Continental drift and subduction zones the tectonic plates along the earth. continental drift causes tectonic plates to either "pull apart" or "crash" into each other. plates that crash into each other either form mountains, or when one slides under the other (a subduction zone) volcanoes from. *see "Volcanoes" for further explanation)
