What two plates collided to form Mt.Etna?
The African plate is subducted under the Eurasian plate.
Are subducting plate boundaries the same as convergent plate boundaries?
A subduction zone can be a result of a convergent plate boundary, but the terms are not synonymous. If the two convergent plates are continental, neither of them will subduct.
What is divergent plates?
separating plates
What is collide divide slide?
Collide-When two plates meetDivide-When two plates separateSlide-When two plates move in a smooth way together
What are the two plates inside the earth called?
If you are thinking of tectonic plates then there are more than two.
Are subducting plate and oceanic plate the same?
No. While only oceanic crust can subduct it is not always subducting. When two oceanic plates converge, only one of them subducts.
Are there plates around New Zealand?
New Zealand sits astride two tectonic plates, the Pacific, and the Australian. The Pacific plate is subducting (diving under) the Australian plate in the north, and in the south, the Australian plate is subducting under the Pacific one. Midway between these two extremes are found the Southern Alps, and this uplift is probably caused by this complex motion.
What two plates collided to form Mt.Etna?
The African plate is subducted under the Eurasian plate.
How volcanoes on land form?
Volcanoes on land form from convergent boundaries subducting. Basically two plates meet together and the older of the two plates will subduct underneath forming an oceanic trench. The material underneath these plates melts lower the density of rock allowing it to rise to the surface forming volcanic pileup.
Are subducting plate boundaries the same as convergent plate boundaries?
A subduction zone can be a result of a convergent plate boundary, but the terms are not synonymous. If the two convergent plates are continental, neither of them will subduct.
What happens at convergent boundaries?
When two subducting boundaries come together.
What two things happen as a subducting plate sinks back into earth?
blah
Do subduction take place when two oceanic crust meet?
No subduction doesn't take place when two oceanic crust meet. When two oceanic crusts meet, it is called a divergent boundary. Crustal features vary such as one like mid-ocean rdges. Subducting takes place when an OCEANIC and CONTINENTAL plate meet not when two oceanic plates meet.
What is divergent plates?
separating plates
What collided with what to form the Himalayan mountains?
when plates collide mountains will form. If you look at a map with the plate boundaries and compare it to a physical map of the world you will see that a lot of mountaind=s form on plate boundries.
What is collide divide slide?
Collide-When two plates meetDivide-When two plates separateSlide-When two plates move in a smooth way together
What two plates caused the earthquake?
Assuming you are talking about the earthquake in Japan, the two plates are the Pacific and the Asian plates.
