What is the region along a plate boundary where one plate is moved beneath another called?
A Subduction Zone
What is the region along plate boundaries where one plate moves beneath another called?
It is called a subduction zone.
What is a crustal plate?
A crustal plate is a rigid layer of the Earth's crust that drifts slowly on the asthenosphere as it interacts with other plates.
How and where material is destroyed in the earth's crust?
I believe it is destoryed along a convergent plate boundry where one plate slides underneath another.
How was the cascade range formed?
The cascade range was formed by subduction which is the process by which one lithospheric plate is forced beneath another lithospheric plate, usually along a convergent plate boundary
What is is the subduction zone?
A collisional plate boundary along which one lithospheric plate overrides another and produces a deep-sea trench, a volcanic arc, and seismicity.
The zone of earthquakes found along the region where one plate subducts under another?
The Wadati-Benioff Zone
Is the volcano hekla along convergent or divergent plate boundaries?
Its along a divergent plate boundary.
Why would you not want to live along that plate edge?
Along plate edges is where a lot of earthquakes occur. If you were to live along a plate boundary you would be putting yourself in danger of an earthquake.
Why are earthquakes so common along plate boundaries?
because the plate boundaries will always go along with it
What is it called when a wave interacts with another wave?
Interference
Where is the oceanic crust sinking into mantle?
Usually when it meets another tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary. If the oceanic plate converges with a continental plate the denser oceanic plate will be forced under the continental plate. If it converges with another oceanic plate the older (and therefore cooler and denser) plate will be forced under the younger plate.
