What force pulls tectonic plates toward each other?
The force that pulls tectonic plates toward each other is known as "slab pull." This occurs when a dense oceanic plate descends into the mantle at a subduction zone, generating a gravitational force that pulls the rest of the plate along with it.
What occurs when two plates slide and move next to each other?
When two tectonic plates slide past each other, it can result in horizontal movement along a fault line, causing earthquakes. This is known as a transform boundary. The friction between the plates can build up tension, which is released suddenly in the form of seismic waves.
When a beam of alpha particles passes between two electrically charged plates which plate is the beam deflected toward?
The beam of alpha particles is deflected toward the negatively charged plate. This is because alpha particles are positively charged, and opposite charges attract each other.
A force that pulls objects toward each other is called?
gravity is a force that pulls object toward each other
What is the name of the attraction that occurs between any two objects?
The attraction between any two objects is called gravity. It is a force that pulls objects toward each other based on their mass and distance.
What kind of boundry occurs wherever two plates move toward each other?
A convergent boundary occurs when two plates move toward each other. This movement can result in subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other, or it can create mountain ranges and volcanic activity.
What are the different movements of crust?
seafloor spreading occurs when oceans widen and continents separate.convergent plate movements occurs when two plates collide toward each other.divergent plate movement is the moving away of plates from each other.transform plate movement occurs when two plates are sliding horizontally with each other.:)
What are the different movements of the earth's crust?

When plates moved toward each other they were described as?
convergant plate boundries
What happens when 2 oceanic plates and 2 continental plates move towards each other?
When 2 oceanic plates and 2 continental plates move towards each other, subduction occurs. The denser oceanic plate sinks beneath the less dense continental plate, creating deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. This process can lead to the formation of mountain ranges and earthquakes.
When did the earthquakes occurs?
When tintanic plates obstruct with each other
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the Earth's plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.
What is formed when crustal plates move toward each other?
When crustal plates move toward each other, they can form convergent boundaries where one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can result in the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity in the area.
What are collision?
They are the contact points between plates that are moving toward each other.
What do we call the boundary where the plates move toward each other?
Convergence Boundary.
What are three ways tectonic plates interact with each other?
When plates slide past each other, move toward each other, and move away from each other.
