What boundary causes volcanic islands?
A convergent boundry, when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide.
What are the 3 subtypes of convergent plate boundaries?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
What happens in oceanic oceanic convergent boundary?
Either plates gets subducted which is usually the older plate.
What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
What boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?
It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).
What boundary causes volcanic islands?
A convergent boundry, when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide.
What happens at a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate?
The oceanic plate usually subsides after colliding with a continental plate.
Types of plate boundries?
-divergent boundry -convergent boundry -transforming boundry
What happens between oceanic and continental plates at convergent boundaries?
Convergent boundary+oceanic plate=subduction because the oceanic plate is more dense causing it to subduct down back to the mantle.
What are the 3 subtypes of convergent plate boundaries?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
What are the three sub types of convergent plate boundrys?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
What happens in oceanic oceanic convergent boundary?
Either plates gets subducted which is usually the older plate.
What are the sub-types of convergent plates boundrys?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.?
oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary has what kind of crustal rocks
What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
Is the subduction zone a plate boundary?
Yes. They occur at convergent plate boundaries (especially oceanic-continental and occasionally at oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries).
What are three sub-types of convergent plate?
Oceanic-Oceanic, Oceanic-Continental, and Continental-Continental are all sub types of convergent plate boundaries.
