The Eurasian Plate is largely considered to be a continental plate. It does, however, lay claim to some oceanic crusts, most notably extending westward to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and northward to the Gakkel Ridge.
No It is considered a continental plate although it does cover some ocean
It is oceanic
Mount Merapi is not a plate. However, it was formed by the convergence of a oceanic plate and a continental plate. The oceanic Indo-Australian plate subducted under the continetal Eurasian plate causing a line of volcanoes.
It's because the oceanic plate is more dense than the continental plate.
The Philippine plate slid under the Eurasian plate.
Indonesia is located between two continental plates: the Eurasian Plate and Australian Plate and between two oceanic plates: the Indian Plate and Pacific Plate.
oceanic plate
the oceanic plate is less bouyant so it slides under the continental plate
Continental crust (Eurasian Plate) and oceanic crust (pacific plate) move towards each other, oceanic crust sinks because its denser, this forms deep sea trenches and volcanoes
Oceanic plates are young and made of basalt and recent sediments. Continental plates are old and contain continental crust made of old rocks and they are usually considerably thicker than the oceanic plates
The oceanic plate must be more dense than the continental plate for this to happen.
When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, the oceanic plate is always subducted. Oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, and they have a higher iron content. Since they are denser, oceanic plates always sink below the continental plate in the event of a collision.
