What is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
Subduction.
What can form when one oceanic plate subducts under another oceanic plate?
Tectonic
When are island arc volcanoes formed?
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
When one tectonic plate slides on one another?
earthquake
What is a tectonic plate boundary?
The region where tectonic plates move toward, apart or horizontally past one another.
The movement of one tectonic plate under another tectonic plate?
The movement of one tectonic plate under another occurs at convergent boundaries. For example, at this boundary denser oceanic crust slides under the lighter continental crust.
When does a part of oceanic plate sink into the 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.
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.
What happens at a convergent boundary?
A convergent plate boundary is a location where two tectonic plates are moving toward each other, often causing one plate to slide below the others.
How does plates affect the surface of the surface?
when tectonic plate collides with other tectonic plates or moves into another tectonic plate it affects surface in a way to create mountains. Like Himalayas are created when the indian tectonic plate collided with asian tectonic plate.
Is New York over a tectonic plate?
yes, all land masses are on one tectonic plate or another.
What is another name for the plate tectonic theory?
The Theory of Plate Tectonics?
What creates deep sea trenches?
subduction, which is when one tectonic plate is pushed down beneath another tectonic plate.
What fault was the kamchatka earthquake on?
The Kamchatka earthquake was on the Pacific plate.
What is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
Subduction.
Does subduction happen at a plate boundary?
Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate.
What is the name of the type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plates?
A destructive plate boundary - a subduction zone.
