Obduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries in which one plate remains at a constant level and the other plate is forced up over that plate.

The process by which a tectonic plate consisting of less heavy rock rides up over a heavier plate is known as?
The process by which a tectonic plate consisting of less heavy rock rides up over a heavier plate is known as subduction. The opposite of this process is called obduction.
The process by which a tectonic plate consisting of less heavy rock rides up over a heavier plate is known as what?
The process you are referring to is known as subduction, where a heavier tectonic plate sinks beneath a less dense plate due to differences in density and composition. This process often leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
What happens when continental and oceanic lithospheres collide?
When continental and oceanic lithospheres collide, the denser oceanic plate is usually subducted beneath the less dense continental plate due to the difference in density. This can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs on the overriding continental plate and deep-sea trenches where the oceanic plate is subducted. The collision can also result in mountain building and the formation of complex geological structures.

How do you determine if an animal dies naturally?
An autopsy, also known as a post-mortem examination, necropsy, or obduction, is a medical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse to determine the cause and manner of death and to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present.

Child abuse and obduction movie i watched it last year its about a boy who shoots his dad or stepdad and runs away hides in a van and gets obducted by child molestors and they have 2 kids already?
Running Scared (2006). GREAT MOVIE just watched half of it on TV. Going Now to Download it to see all of it.
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).
What happens when continental and oceanic lithospheres collide?
When continental and oceanic lithospheres collide, the denser oceanic plate is usually subducted beneath the less dense continental plate due to the difference in density. This can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs on the overriding continental plate and deep-sea trenches where the oceanic plate is subducted. The collision can also result in mountain building and the formation of complex geological structures.
