When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate .?
When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the oceanic plate slips under the continental one and into the mantle in a process called subduction. The area will be prone to large earthquakes and tsunamis. A chain of volcanoes will form on the continent.
What types of boundaries have subduction zones?
Convergent boundaries can form between two oceanic plates, between one oceanic plate and one continental plate, or between two continental plates.
What plates are involved in a subduction plate?
Convergence between oceanic plate and one continental plate. Convergence between two oceanic plates.
Differences between oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental subduction boundary?
Oceanic to oceanic- one plate sinks under the other Oceanic- Continental ocean crust sinks under the other
What types of plate boundaries have subduction zone?
Convergent boundaries can form between two oceanic plates, between one oceanic plate and one continental plate, or between two continental plates.
How is a volcano formed at a Continental Rift?
Volcanoes cannot be formed at a continental rift, due to the fact that a volcano cannot form between two continental plates: it normally forms when one continental plate and an oceanic plate collide. Normally, a volcano forms when one continental and one oceanic plate collides. The denser oceanic plate
Match the mountains with the plates involved?
Aleutians: Two oceanic plates Appalachians: Two continental plates Andes: One continental plate, one oceanic plate Nore American Cordillera: One island plateau, one continental plate :D

What happens when one continetal and one oceanic plate collide?
Well the oceanic plate is usually lower than the continental plate so i think the ocianic plate will smash upward. I may be wrong...
What are the types of collisions that happen at convergent boundaries?
Subduction (where one plate is forced beneath another less dense plate - may occur at oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental boundaries), obduction (where oceanic plate is forced over a continental plate) and orogenesis where two continental plates collide and mountains are formed (e.g. the Himalayas).
Give the name of one plate that contains mostly oceanic lithosphere and of one plate that continenmental litosphere?
The Pacific plate is mostly oceanic lithosphere while the North American plate is mostly continental lithosphere.
What happens when a plate gets subducted?
The colder, more dense plate is the one that subducts in a collision between two plates. In an oceanic to oceanic plate collision it is the older of the two plates that will subduct due to its higher density. In an oceanic to continental plate collision, it's the oceanic plate that will subduct because of its higher density.
