When two plates rub against each other this will cause earthquakes or tsunamis. When they bash together they can either cause mountain ranges or volcanoes.

When plates move together, they can either collide and form mountains due to the compression forces, or one plate can be forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. Subduction zones are known for generating powerful earthquakes and volcanic activity.

What four things happen when plates move?
When plates move, it can result in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, the formation of mountain ranges, and the shifting of continents.
Where the plates move together we get what?
According to the theory of plate tectonics, when plates move together volcanoes form.ANS2:Where plates collide, mountains form. Where a plate is subducted (is pushed under another plate), volcanoes form on the other side of the subduction zone.
Do transform plates move together or apart?
Transform plates move sideways past each other in opposite directions along a fault line. They are neither moving together nor apart, but rather horizontally in opposite directions.
What things move apart from each other?
Tectonic plates, galaxies in the universe, and expanding balloons are examples of things that move apart from each other.
Do scientist think the earth surface is broken into huge plates that fit together but move slowly?
Yes. They think the earth's crust (where we are right now), is broken into huge plates (the continents) that fit together, but move very slowly. Thank you for asking.
What would happen when plates move together?
they break
What kind of boundary do tectonic plates move together?
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
What four things happen when plates move?

What do you get when plates move together?
you get mountians

Why do the earth plates move together?
earthquakes
Plates move together at a what?
Subduction zone.
Where do plates move together?
convergent boundary
What happen when two plates move towards?
compression
Why do most earthquakes happen at the plates?
Most earthquakes happen at the plates because the plates (continental plates) sometimes move. If it moves and slides against another one going the other way, the plates' connecting part will tremble and shake and fall apart. It starts like this: 1. The plates start to move. The land between, roads, and other things bend. 2. The plates suddenly break, and some of the roads get carried away, so everything falls apart.
Do plates that move together have the most activity on them?
2cm
How do converging boundaries move?
The plates come together
