Answer:

When 2 maritime plates impact, one twists and slides under the other and it shapes a channel. At the point when 2 mainland plates impact, they press the outside upward into mountain ranges.

At the point when a maritime and mainland plate impact, the maritime plate moves underneath the mainland plate.

At the point when mainland and maritime plates impact, the more slender and progressively thick maritime plate is superseded by the thicker and less thick mainland plate.

The maritime plate is constrained down into the mantle in a procedure known as subduction. As the maritime plate slides, it is constrained into higher temperature situations.
