What kind of boundary separates the Eurasian plate plate from the Pacific plate?
a subduction boundry, this is where one plate gets pushed under the other. in this case the pacific plate is being pushed under the eurasion!
How did the two plates move in the Asian tsunami 2004?
the India Plate and the Eurasian Plate pushed into each other, until the Indian Plate was pushed UNDER the Eurasian Plate, causing the Eurasian Plate to be raised up 10m
How do some volcanoes occur where one plate sinks beneath the other?
The plates get pushed up, then the the plate that gets pushed, pushes land up then you have a volcano.
What can tectonic plates form when they coverge?
The India plate crashing into the Asia plate caused the formation of the Himalayas. It can also cause subduction, when one plate is pushed beneath the other plate and so pushed back into the molten mantle.
What happens to the layers of the Earthduring a earthquake?
The techtonic plates are shifting. One plate is being overlaped by the other.
When a plate is pushed into another plate what process is that?
When one tectonic plate is pushed beneath another plate, it is called subduction. This process occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is denser than the other, causing it to sink into the mantle. Subduction zones are associated with deep ocean trenches and can lead to volcanic activity and earthquakes.
What is the cause of blocks of rocks being pushed into mountains?
Plate techtonics or shifting of the earth's crust.
What is the major type of stress at convergent plate boundaries?
Subduction, is when one plate is pushed down into the magma, by the other plate sliding over the top.
How is lassen peak and mount shasta related to subduction?
Juan de fuca plate are being pushed under the north american plate
What type of plate boundary is when one sinks beneath another?
A convergent plate boundary is where one of the plates is sinking beneath another, and the other one is being pushed on top of the subducting plate. This is called a subduction zone. This happens when denser, heavier oceanic crust meets less dense, thicker, continental crust.When two plates converge, and one is less dense, that plate goes under the more dense plate into the mantle, this is called subduction.subduction will happen and a volcano will be formed. when one plate slides beneath another one magma from earths mantle is being pushed up on earths surface.
What happens with a plate of oceanic crust collides with a plate of continental crust?
The oceanic plate is made of denser (and thinner) rock than the continental crust, so the oceanic plate gets subducted (pushed underneath) where it descends and gets melted by geothermal heat.
