New ocean crust is formed at?
Divergent plates or mid-ocean ridges
What is the process whereby the weight of an uplift ocean ridge pushes an oceanic plate toward a subduction zone?
you don't have to know those things. It's not for your age. hahahahhahahahahaha
Location of frequent earthquakes at the subduction zone?
Ocean Trench
What feature on the ocean floor would you most likely find the oldest seafloor?
in a subduction trench, because of Harry Hess' theory of sea floor spreading. Meaning that the rock is formed new at the mid-ocean ridge, and moved out towards the coasts into a subduction zone years and years later.
Area where an ocean plate descends into the upper mantle?
Subduction Zone
What forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate a rift valley an ocean basin an ocean ridge a subduction zone?
a subduction zone
What forms on the ocean floors in a subduction zone?
Ocean Trenches.
What a ridge push?
Ridge push is a gravitation force that causes a plate to move away from the crest of an ocean ridge, and into a subduction zone.
What forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate a. an ocean basin b. an ocean ridge c. a subduction zone d. a rift valley?
C. subduction zone

What is a ridge push?
Ridge push is a gravitation force that causes a plate to move away from the crest of an ocean ridge, and into a subduction zone.
What is the difference between a mid oceanic ridge and a subduction zone?
A subduction zone occurs at convergent plate margins where an oceanic plate is going underneath a continental plate or a less dense oceanic plate. A mid-ocean ridge is a divergent plate boundary on the ocean floor with a mountain range and a rift running through the center of it. Sea floor spreading also occurs at mid ocean ridges.
What forms when one plate slides past another plate?
Its either a transform boundary, divergent boundary, subduction zone, of the mid-ocean ridge.

What zone appears when an ocean pate sinks beneath a continental plate?
This is called the subduction zone.
