What land form is created by tectonic plates crashing together?
this depends on the two plates that collide. Ocean plates are much heavier than continental plates. If an ocean and continental plate collide, the ocean plate sinks underneath and creates a trench. If two ocean plates or two continental plate collide, it creates a mountain range/ oceanic ridge depending on the type.
Name two types of tectonic plates?
The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic.
How do converging continental plates create mountain ranges?
Mountain ranges are created at convergent plate boundaries. That is where two plates, either ocean and continental or continental and continental come together.
Why do oceanic plates move under continental plates when the two collide?
Oceanic plates move under continental plates when they converge together because the oceanic plate is more denser than the continental plate.
What happens and what forms when 2 continental plates collide?
When two continental plates collide they buckle up and fold forming mountains.
Whats an earthquak?
when two of earth's plates collied.
What two plates created the Soufriere Hills volcano?
the nazca(oceanic) and caribbean (continental) plates
What type of landform is created by the collision of continental?
When two Continental plates collide, both plates lift upward and it can form mountains or mountain chains.
When two continental plates collide what happens?
When two continental plates collide they form mountains .

What landform is created when two continental plates pull apart?
On land, this forms a rift valley.
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
What are the two types of plates?
The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic.
Convergent boundaries can be divided into 3 categories what are these categories and what geological feature are created by each?
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.
What type of boundaries form fold mountains?
landform created bye the convergence of two continental plates
