What two pl ates converge to form Andes?
The South American Plate and the Nazca Plate are the two plates that converge to form the Andes mountain range. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the uplift of the Andes through volcanic activity and compression.
What two island chains form the east boundary of the Caribbean sea?
I'm not sure what is being asked but the Windward Islands and Leeward Islands form the east boundary of the Caribbean Sea.
What are he islands that stretch from Florida to Venezuela?
the so-called "leeward" islands. Together with the so-called 'windward' islands further east they form the Caribbean islands.
What two plates collided to form Saint Vincent and the Grenadines?
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines were formed primarily by the collision of the South American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. This tectonic interaction has led to volcanic activity in the region, contributing to the formation of the islands. The ongoing subduction of the South American Plate beneath the Caribbean Plate continues to influence the geological activity in this area.
When two continental plates converge a rift valley form?
No. Continental convergent plate boundaries form fold mountain ranges. A rift valley will form at a divergent plate boundary.
What kind of land form are the Caribbean islands?

When two continental plates converge does a rift valley forms?
No. Continental convergent plate boundaries form fold mountain ranges. A rift valley will form at a divergent plate boundary.
What plate boundary are volcanic islands?
Volcanic islands are often found at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is subducted beneath another. This subduction process can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs, such as the islands of Japan, Indonesia, and the Aleutian Islands.
Why is there no volcanoes in the middle of the Caribbean sea?
The middle of the Caribbean Sea is over the middle of the Caribbean Plate. Most volcanoes form near the edges of tectonic plates. For example, the lesser Antilles are composed in part of volcanoes at the margin of the Caribbean Plate.
What can form where two plates converge?
When two tectonic plates converge, a subduction zone can form where one plate is pushed beneath the other, creating deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs. Another possibility is a collision boundary, where the two plates collide and form mountain ranges due to intense pressure and folding of the Earth's crust.
What are 2 landforms that are created at by oceanic oceanic crust?
Two landforms created by oceanic-oceanic crust interactions are oceanic ridges and volcanic islands. Oceanic ridges form at divergent plate boundaries where two oceanic plates move apart and magma rises to create new crust. Volcanic islands, on the other hand, form where two oceanic plates converge and one plate subducts beneath the other, leading to volcanic activity and the formation of islands.
What physical processes help to form the Caribbean and is still a threat today?
The formation of the Caribbean region was primarily influenced by the movement of tectonic plates, specifically the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. The ongoing subduction of the Caribbean Plate beneath the North American Plate continues to cause seismic activity, including earthquakes and tsunamis, making it a persistent threat to the region today.
