Plates that move toasted each other are detractive plates meeting at a destructive margin. If a continental and an oceanic plate move towards each other, earthquakes and volcanoes occur, this is called a subduction margin, but if the plates are both continental then fold mountains form this is a collision margin

What happens when 2 oceanic plates and 2 continental plates move towards each other?
when 2 oceanic plates move toward(converge)each other they form a lain of VOLCANIC ISLAND ARC.when 2 continenatl plates move toward(converge)each other they form MOUNTAIN BUILDING.
What happens to lithospheric plates when an earthquake occurs?
Lithospheric plates, which also are called tectonic plates, move towards or away from each other when an earthquake occurs.
Are formed at divergent and converging boundaries?
Convergent and divergent boundaries are terms used in plate tectonics to describe the juncture at two plates and how they move in relation to each other. Divergent plates move apart and convergent move towards each other.
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
What are the three types of plate tectonic boundries?
divergent (plates move away from each other), convergent --->
What plates move towards each other?
convergent
How do convergent move?
They Move Towards Each Other because of the Plates.
How do plates move where convection are sinking?
They move towards each other.
Do convergent plates move towards each other?
yes
What are three ways plates can move in relation to one another?
Plates either move towards each other (convergent plates), away from each other (divergent plates) or slide next to each other (transform plates).
What are active zones?
It where to plates rub past each other; move away from each other; or move towards each other.
What are at least three ways plates interact with each other?
They slide, move towards and move away from each.
What are three types of faults and how are they diffrent?
Transverse - Plates move side by side Convergent - Plates move towards each other, usually one gets subducted. Divergent - Plates move away from each other.
How are convergert plates different from divergent plates?
Convergent plates move towards each other, causing alot of compressional forces. Divergent plates move away from each other causing alot of tensional forces.
How do plates move where convection currents are sinking?
They move towards each other.
Do convergent plates move away from each other?
they move against one another
What is it called when plates of the earth move towards each other or collide?
fault line
