What type of mountain is formed when the earths crust is squeezed together?
It depends on the type of plates coming together but two continental plates will form a mountain chain. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia to form the Himalayas.
What happens when the earths crust buckles in a wavelike pattern creating hills or mountains?
The action of earth's crust buckling in wave-like patterns is due to two plates coming together or converging. These plates can be either oceanic or continental plates. Examples of these types of plates are the Eurasian, Pacific, Australian, Caribbean plates.
Plate margins that are coming together are called what?
Convergent plate boundaries
Where do plates come together?
The place where tectonic plates come together is named an Destructive Boundary
What happen to all of the continental plates near the end of the Paleozoic Era?
Near the end of the Paleozoic Era, during the Permian Period, all the continental plates were slowly coming together to form the supercontinent known as Pangaea. This movement led to the collision and merging of the continental plates, resulting in the formation of one large landmass.
What is happening at a convergent plate boundary?
what is happening at a convergent plate boundary is the two plates are coming together and forming mountains.
What type of mountain is formed when the earths crust is squeezed together?
It depends on the type of plates coming together but two continental plates will form a mountain chain. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia to form the Himalayas.
What are volcanoes and what causes them?
a volcano is a rupture or opening in the earths crust. caused by convergent (coming together) or divergent (moving apart) plates
Is the Colorado Rocky Mountains range man made or natural?
It is natural! They were formed by two continental plates converging, coming together.

What relationship exists between the location of earthquakes and the location of volcanoes?
Both Volcanoes and earthquakes are located where plates of the earth's crust are coming together. This motion and interaction at the edges of the plates is called plate tectonics.
Boundaries between plates?
There are 3 main types of boundaries between plates: Convergent- when two plates are coming together (mostly form mountains) Divergent- when two plates are moving apart (mostly form rift valleys) Transform- when two plates slide past one another (also called strike-slip)
What are the differences between convergence and divergence plates?
Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.
What is it called when two plates move towards each other When they move together What is the motion called?
When two plates move towards each other, it is called convergence. The motion during convergence is usually called subduction if one plate is forced beneath the other, or collision if the two plates collide and form mountain ranges.
What kind of boundary do tectonic plates move together?
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
Where do plates come together?
The place where tectonic plates come together is named an Destructive Boundary
Plate margins that are coming together are called what?
Convergent plate boundaries
