What it is call when Tectonic plates collide?
convergence
What form when two plates collide and one plate goes under the other plate?
When two tectonic plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other, this process is known as subduction. This typically occurs at convergent plate boundaries, leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. The subducting plate melts as it descends into the mantle, which can result in volcanic activity and the creation of mountain ranges.
How do plate tectonics make a volcano erupt?
When two plates collide one pushes the other one down. Then the magma goes through the gaps between the plates and then the volcano erupts. Volcanoes can also erupt by the plates spreading apart.
How do volcano's form when oceanic and continental plates collide?
Mountains form where continental and oceanic plates collide by the actions of the plates upon one another. Often one plate pushes up and over the other one, and the upper one creates a row of mountains.
When two plates collide what determines which plates comes out on top?
The more dense plate subducts (goes under) the less dense plate. For example if continental and oceanic crust collide oceanic crust will go underneath the continental.
The place where two plates collide and one goes on top the other?
The subduction zone.
The place where to plates collide and one goes over the other?
subduction boundrary. thanks for looking :)
What happens duruing an earthquake?
The plates in the earth collide and one goes under the other
Where two plates collide and one goes on top?
Subduction.
What it is call when Tectonic plates collide?
convergence
What occurs on the ocean floor when plates collide?
the contintinental plate goes below the other and lava floating from the center of the earth creates a ridge
How do plate tectonic interact?
Two tectonic plates collide, one goes under and the other goes over. Usually this forms an earthquake and is how most mountains are formed eg: the great dividing range. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Do folded mountains form by plates being pushed down?
Folded mountains form when tectonic plates collide and the crust is compressed and folded due to the immense pressure. The plates are not pushed down, but rather collide, causing the crust to buckle and fold upward to form mountains.
Describe what happens when two plates carrying oceanic crust collide?
Best Answer:When two plates carrying oceanic crust collide, the resultis that one goes underneath the other - probably causinga tsunami - or an underwater earthquake.
When two oceanic plates collide which one is subducted?
The active one (the one that goes back to an active oceanic ridge).
What happens when 2 tectonic plates collide?
When two plates collide directly (versus sliding along each other) they typically form a mountain range. For example, the Himalayan Mountains are are formed by the collision of the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate. As John McPhee says in "Annals of the Former World", the most amazing thing is that the summit of Mount Everest, the worlds tallest mountain, is marine limestone.
