What else can I help you with?
When two plates collide what can happen?
When two oceanic plates collide, one may be pushed under the other and cause magma from the mantle to rise, forming a volcanoe or volcanoes. When two continential plates collide at a reverse fault tectonic earthquakes occur.
When two plates collide what fault forms?
When two plates collide, a thrust fault forms. This type of fault occurs when one tectonic plate is forced over the top of another plate, causing the rocks to break and slide in a horizontal direction. Thrust faults are common in regions where compression is predominant, such as at convergent plate boundaries.
True or false mountains may form when parts of the crust rises along a fault?
True. Mountains can form when parts of the Earth's crust are uplifted along fault lines due to tectonic forces, such as when two tectonic plates collide or slide past each other.
What does it mean when tectonic plates slip?
Shifting,sliding,diverging ,converging etc . of tectonic plates.
When do earthquakes strike?
Earthquakes can occur at any time, but they are most commonly caused by the movement of tectonic plates along fault lines. These movements release stored energy in the Earth's crust, resulting in seismic waves that cause the ground to shake.

Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What does plates do?
Tectonic plates are sections of the Earth's crust, which float on the mantle beneath the crust. You can see where plates end at fault lines, like the San Andreas fault line in the USA, These plates are constantly shifting, and if they collide, the shockwave can cause an earthquake and/or Tsunami
What can happen when to plates collide together?
a fault
What is fault of earthquake?
Tectonic plates
What geological feature will form when plates collide?
Fault
How are fault line formed?
by tectonic plates
How fold and fault mountains are formed?
Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide, causing compression and the folding of rock layers. Fault mountains are created by the movement along fault lines, where one side of the fault is pushed up relative to the other. Both types of mountains result from the Earth's tectonic activity.
Where can you find folded mountain and a fault block mountain?
Folded mountains are typically found at convergent boundaries where tectonic plates collide, such as the Himalayas. Fault-block mountains are formed by the movement of tectonic plates causing blocks of the Earth's crust to uplift or subside, like the Sierra Nevada in the United States.

What is the similarity between a fault and a fault zone?
A fault is where to tectonic plates meet but a fault zone is the area around a fault.
True or false mountains may form when parts of the crust rises along a fault?
True. Mountains can form when parts of the Earth's crust are uplifted along fault lines due to tectonic forces, such as when two tectonic plates collide or slide past each other.
