How are subduction form?
by plate tectonics
What is likely to be found in subduction zones?
Plate tectonics
What does subduction have to do with geology?
Subduction is part of the geological process of plate tectonics. A subduction zone is a place where the oceanic plate is sinking back in to the mantle (usually at the edge of a continental plate.
How is plate tectonics a theory?
plate tectonics is a theory because t explains the formation, movement, and subduction of earth' s plates.
How old crust is recycled using the theory of plate tectonics?
Subduction
Define and relate the following to the plate tectonics theory?
There are 2 tectonics theories namely: divergent boundary and subduction zone. The boundary of the plate tectonics where two plates are placed is called divergent boundary while the subduction zone is a convergent boundary where in one plate is subducted on another.
IS Lassen Volcanic on converging plate tectonics?
The volcanism at Lassen National Park is caused by convergent plate tectonics, specifically the subduction of the Gorda Plate under the North American Plate.
How did the Aleutian islands form?
Aleutian Islands were formed from the subduction of the plate tectonics.
What process in earth's interior causes subduction and sea floor spreading?
Subduction and sea floor spreading are both a result of the movement of the tectonic plates.Plate Tectonics
A denser plate sinking under a less dense plate is called what?
If you are talking about plate tectonics, the action you're referring to is called subduction.
What features are the result of plate tectonics?
some features caused by plate tectonics would be folded and faulted mountain chains. subduction zones are also some important features caused by plate tectonics. the oceanic crust goes underneath the continental crust creating a subduction zone at the plate boundaries.parvaiz mansoori
What did John Tuzo Wilson use to develop the theory of plate tectonics?
Formation...Movement...and Subduction.
