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 it when plates move farther and farther apart?
When plates move farther and farther apart, this is known as seafloor spreading. It occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed as plates diverge. This process is driven by convection currents in the Earth's mantle.
Where two or more plates meet or come together is called a?
Where two or more plates meet or come together is called a plate boundary. These plate boundaries can be either convergent (moving towards each other), divergent (moving apart), or transform (sliding past each other).
What is the area where two tectonic plates called?
Plate boundaries.
Do Ocean Trenches Occur where plates are moving apart or where They are moving apart?
Ocean trenches occur where plates are moving towards each other and one plate is being pushed beneath the other in a process called subduction. Trenches are formed at convergent plate boundaries where oceanic crust is being forced downward into the mantle.
What is the plate boundary where plates are moving towards each other?
A fault.
What is on the ocean floor if the tectonic plates are moving towards each other?
a trench
Do trenches occur where plates are moving apart?
Trenches form where plates are moving towards each other in a convergent plate boundary, not where they are moving apart. At divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, plates are moving apart, creating new crust.
Why are some plates moving faster than others in the context of plate tectonics?
Some plates are moving faster than others in plate tectonics because of differences in the forces acting on them. These forces can be influenced by the boundaries between plates, such as divergent boundaries where plates move apart, or convergent boundaries where plates collide. The speed of plate movement can also be affected by the temperature and composition of the rocks making up the plates.
What is compressional stress?
Compressional stress is the stress produced by two tectonic plates moving towards each other.
What do we call the plate boundary where plates are moving towards each other?
Convergence Boundary.
How have the tectonic plates been moving over the last million years?
Tectonic plates have been moving due to processes like seafloor spreading, subduction, and continental drift. Over the last million years, some plates have been moving towards each other causing collisions, while others have been moving away from each other, creating new seafloor. These movements have shaped the Earth's surface and continue to influence geological events.
What is the name of the places were the tectonic plates meet?
The places where tectonic plates meet are called plate boundaries. There are three main types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries (plates moving towards each other), divergent boundaries (plates moving away from each other), and transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other).
Are the pacific plates and the antarctic plates moving towards each other or away from each other or past each other?
the plates are moving away from each other.
When 2 tectonic plates move towards one another the boundary between them is called?

When was Moving Gelatine Plates created?
Moving Gelatine Plates was created in 1968.
What is the boundary between two plates that are moving called?
Is they are moving away from each other it is a divargent boundryif they are moving towards each other it is a convergent bounderyIf they are sliding pass each other its a transormation boundery
