What geologic features of the ocean floor do you think are formed by crustal plates moving together?
Ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and island arcs are examples of geologic features on the ocean floor formed by crustal plates moving together. Subduction zones are common in these areas, where one plate is forced beneath another, creating deep ocean trenches and leading to volcanic activity along the plate boundaries. Island arcs can also form as a result of subduction, with chains of volcanic islands aligning parallel to the trenches.
What is the land features that result from plate movement?
Volcanoes, Trenches, Island Arcs, Rift Valley, mountain chains, plateaus, basins.
Which type of landforms develops plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath one another?
Ocean Trenches, Island Arcs, Volcanic Mountain Chains, Magmatic Arcs.
Subduction of oceanic crust at a continental margin creates .?
Ocean trenches and Island arcs.
What does an oceanic-oceanic convergence give rise to?
An oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two plates made of oceanic crust collide. This collision can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches, volcanic island arcs, and earthquakes. Over time, the denser plate may subduct beneath the other, leading to the recycling of oceanic crust back into the mantle.
Which type of landforms develops at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another?
Trenches and volcanic arcs form at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another. The descending plate melts and creates magma that rises to the surface, leading to volcanic activity. This process can also result in earthquakes as the plates interact.
What landforms do oceanic-oceanic boundaries form?
Oceanic-oceanic boundaries form features such as underwater mountain ranges known as mid-ocean ridges, deep-sea trenches, and volcanic island arcs. These boundaries are characterized by seafloor spreading and subduction processes that shape the Earth's crust and create dynamic geological features.
What forms at a subduction zone?
Volcanic arcs and oceanic trenches commonly form at subduction zones.
What has the author Arata Sugimura written?
Arata Sugimura has written: 'Island arcs: Japan and its environs' -- subject(s): Island arcs
What can tectonic plates form when they converge?
When tectonic plates converge, they can form features such as mountain ranges, deep-sea trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes. The collision and subduction of plates at convergent boundaries can also lead to the formation of island arcs and continental crust deformation.
What geologic features are associated with each type of convergent boundary?
Subduction zones, trenches and volcanic islands: the boundary that is oceanic. Trenches and volcanic islands: an oceanic-continental boundary. Folded mountain ranges: a continental and continental collision.
Where do island arcs form?
In the Pacific Ocean.
