What plates are involved in a subduction plate?
Convergence between oceanic plate and one continental plate. Convergence between two oceanic plates.
What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?
subduction boundary!!!
What is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
Subduction.
Are the volcanoes of Indonesia formed due to subduction zones between the Eurasian Plate and the Indo Australian Plate?
correct
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
When regions of earth's surface sink down?
The earth's crust sinking in is called subduction. It is usually associated with tectonic plate movement. When one plate slides over another and pushes the other downward.
How subsidence occur?
Subsidence occurs when one plate is denser than the plate it is moving into. It then slips under the less dense plate and melts into the mantle.

What does subduction have to do with geology?
Subduction is part of the geological process of plate tectonics. A subduction zone is a place where the oceanic plate is sinking back in to the mantle (usually at the edge of a continental plate.
What is it called when two plates slide one under the other?
It is known as subduction.
What type of plate boundary leads to subduction?
Convergent plate boundaries lead to subduction. Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate rides over the edge of another tectonic plate which sinks into the mantle as they converge.
