There are two types of lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere and the continental lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere exists in the ocean basins while the continental lithosphere exists in the continental crust.

The two types of lithospheric plates are oceanic plates, which are denser and thinner, and continental plates, which are less dense and thicker.

Which of the following factors is most important when determining the types of boundary that forms when two lithospheric plate collide?
The most important factor when determining the types of boundaries that form when two lithospheric plates collide is the relative motion between the plates. Depending on whether the plates are moving towards each other, away from each other, or past each other, different types of boundaries like convergent, divergent, or transform boundaries will form.
Which two processes do scientists think move the earths lithospheric plates?

What kind of boundary is formed by the direct collision of two lithospheric plates?
A convergent boundary is formed when two lithospheric plates collide. One plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This collision often leads to the formation of mountain ranges or volcanic activity.
What is oceanic -oceanic convergent boundary?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
What is it called when two lithospheric plates move apart?
Continental Plates
What are two parts in lithospheric plates?
The lithospheric plates consist of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. The crust can be further divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.

What two plates dose San Andreas fault separate?
The San Andreas Fault separates the Pacific Plate to the west from the North American Plate to the east. The movement between these two plates is responsible for the majority of seismic activity in California.
Where Eruptions that occur where two lithospheric plates come together?
subduction boundary eruption
What forms when two lithospheric plates move apart?
When two lithospheric plates move apart, a divergent boundary is formed. This process results in the creation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to fill the gap between the plates, forming a mid-ocean ridge.

What is a oceanic boundary?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
What are the two types of plates?
The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic.
What is a oceanic continental convergent?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
