Collision boundaries and subduction boundaries are types of what boundaries?

The older denser plate sinks under a deep ocean trench into the mantle. Some rock above the subducting plate melts and forms magma. Since the magma is less dense than the surrounding rock, it rises toward the surface. Eventually, the magma breaks through the ocean floor, making a volcanoe.

What are 2 different convergent boundaries?
Convergent collision and convergent subduction. Convergent collision collides and forms mountains. Convergent subduction subducts and forms trenches.
What are the four major types of plate movement according to plate tectonics?
1. Spreading,or moving apart 2. Subduction,or diving under another plate 3. Collision,or Crashing into one another 4. Sliding past each other in a Shearing Motion -Hope this helps you guys...(=
What is a crustal boundary?
There are 3 types convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries. Convergent collide, divergent move away, and transform boundaries occur when two boundaries pass each other horizontally. The process of subduction is associated with convergent boundaries and tectonic plates play a huge role in these types of boundaries.
The deepest earthquakes tend to occur at?
Subduction boundaries
What is the difference between subduction zone and collision zone destrutive plate margin?
A subduction zone and a collision zone are the same place, a collision just happens earlier, when the crusts of the two plates are interacting. Later, when the crust of one plate is being forced under the crust of another plate into the mantle, it becomes a subduction zone.
What are 2 different convergent boundaries?
Convergent collision and convergent subduction. Convergent collision collides and forms mountains. Convergent subduction subducts and forms trenches.
What types of boundaries do subduction zones occur?
Convergent Boundaries!
What types of boundaries do subduction zones form?
This forms on the plate tectonic boundaries.... particularly the convergent plate boundries.
What boundary do subduction zones form on?
Subduction zones form along some tectonic plate boundaries. Of the three general types of tectonic plate boundaries, we will see them form at some (but not all) of what are called convergent plate boundaries.
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.
What happens during a convergent boundary and what usually forms?
At a convergence boundary during collision of two plates there could either be Subduction or Outcropping. Subduction occurs when the collision involves plates of different types and densities while the other happens when it involves similar plate types. Mountain ranges are formed, also Subduction Zones gives rise to Trenches.
Is subduction divergent?
Subduction is a process that takes place at convergent boundaries.

What plate collision would most likely happen in a subduction zone?
A subductive collision.
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
Which boundaries are likely to result in volcanic island arcs?
offshore subduction boundaries.
