The plate with cooler, denser crust sinks under the other plate, forming a trench. There, the oceanic crust sinks down back into the mantle.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when an oceanic plate moves under a conitental plates through a subduction?
it is the hawaii
What is the name of the process where ocean crust sinks back toward the mantle?
It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.
What happens at oceanic-oceanic subduction?
The plate with cooler, denser crust sinks under the other plate, forming a trench. There, the oceanic crust sinks down back into the mantle.
What happens when an oceanic plate moves under a continental plate?
When an oceanic plate moves under a continental plate, a subduction zone is formed. The oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle, where it melts and creates magma. This magma can then rise to the surface, causing volcanic activity on the continental plate.
What is oceanic-oceanic subduction?
Oceanic crust sinking under a plate with continental crust
Can the oceanic crust be destroyed?
Subduction
What happens when a plate carrying oceanic oceanic crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust?
The contiental cdrust is forced under the continental crust in a process called subduction.
What type of boundaries are subduction zones associated with?
Convergent oceanic - continental and oceanic - oceanic boundaries.
Is oceanic crust slide under oceanic crust during subduction?
Yes, oceanic crust can slide under oceanic crust during subduction at convergent plate boundaries. This process occurs when a more dense oceanic plate descends beneath another oceanic plate, leading to the formation of a subduction zone.
The process of an oceanic plate colliding with and descending underneath a continental plate?
This process is known as subduction. When an oceanic plate collides with and is forced underneath a continental plate, it creates a subduction zone. The descending oceanic plate melts due to the intense heat and pressure, causing volcanic activity and the formation of mountain ranges on the continental plate.
Differences between oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental subduction boundary?
In an oceanic-oceanic subduction boundary, one oceanic plate subducts beneath another oceanic plate. This process can result in volcanic island arcs being formed. In an oceanic-continental subduction boundary, an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate. This can lead to the formation of volcanic mountain ranges on the continental plate.
What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?
subduction boundary!!!
