When two oceanic plates meet witch plate gets subducted and why?
When two oceanic plates meet, which plate gets subducted and why
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate which plate is subducted?
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.
What happens in oceanic oceanic convergent boundary?
Either plates gets subducted which is usually the older plate.
What plates can create a volcanic arc?
An oceanic plate being subducted under a continental plate.
When does a plate carrying continental crust converges with a plate carrying oceanic crust?
The oceanic plates gets subducted or goes under the continental plate
What geologic feature results when divergence occures between two oceanic plates?
a mid oceanic ridge
When two oceanic plates meet witch plate gets subducted and why?
When two oceanic plates meet, which plate gets subducted and why
Why is an oceanic plate always subducted but not a continental plate?
Continental plates are lighter (less dense) than oceanic plates.
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate which plate is subducted?
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.
What happens in oceanic oceanic convergent boundary?
Either plates gets subducted which is usually the older plate.
When two oceanic plates collide which one is subducted?
The active one (the one that goes back to an active oceanic ridge).
What plates create a volcanic arc?
An oceanic plate being subducted under a continental plate.
What plates can create a volcanic arc?
An oceanic plate being subducted under a continental plate.
When does a plate carrying continental crust converges with a plate carrying oceanic crust?
The oceanic plates gets subducted or goes under the continental plate
When two geologic plates are moving away from each other what happens?
When it is two continental plates, new oceanic crust is formed, and when this continues, more oceanic crust is formed between the plates.
What feature forms at diverging oceanic plates?
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.
What can happen when two oceanic plates converge and one is subducted into the mantle?
The colliding plate edges become crumpled to form a mountain range.
