What else can I help you with?
What occurs with plates when continental crust is pushed together?
An earthquake happens then a fault line is made
What is the place called where two plates meet?
The Plate Boundaries. It could be called the plate boundary, plate edge, or continental divide. With tectonic plates, they meet at the fault line.
Where the edges of plates meet is called what?
Fault lines
A fault where plates slide past or over each other?
a transform boundary
How a fault forms?
A fault-block mountain forms where the edges of two plates come together to create a fault. When one plate pushes up over the other one, the upper one can continue up until it is high enough to create a fault-block mountain.
What are the edges of Earth's plates called?
The edges of Earth's tectonic plates are called plate boundaries. At plate boundaries, the plates interact with each other through processes such as subduction, seafloor spreading, and transform faulting.
Where are Colliding continental plates located?
fault lines
What happens when two continental plates?
If the plates are moving together from opposite directions, the colliding edges will uplift into mountain ranges. If the plates are moving apart, a rift valley will form. If the plates are moving together at oblique angles, a fault zone will occur.
What type of geologic feature will form where two continental plates col-lid?
Fault ... ;)
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
What types of geologic features form where two continental plates collide?
Fault ... ;)
What are the plates of earth called?

What do you call the area where two tectonic plates meet?
The area where two tectonic plates meet is called a plate boundary. At plate boundaries, interactions between the plates can result in processes like subduction, seafloor spreading, or continental collision.
Two continental plates that meet at the infamous san Andreas fault?
The two continental plates that meet at the San Andreas Fault are the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. These plates are moving horizontally past each other, which causes a lot of seismic activity along the fault line. The movement has led to numerous earthquakes in California, making the San Andreas Fault one of the most well-known geological features in the world.
What are the lines called when plates meet?
Fault lines
What is the place called where two plates meet?
The Plate Boundaries. It could be called the plate boundary, plate edge, or continental divide. With tectonic plates, they meet at the fault line.
