It creates a explosion similar to when Chuck Norris gets mad.

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 when a plate made of oceanic crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust?
The contiental cdrust is forced under the continental crust in a process called subduction.
What happens when two plates carrying oceanic crust collides?
When two oceanic crusts collide, the older plate is forced under the younger one and is pulled under it, forming a subduction zone. This leads to the formation of chains of volcanic islands known as island arcs.
What are the two differences between the continental crust and the oceanic crust?
The oceanic crust consists of heavier rock, mostly Basalt, so that if a oceanic plate collides with a continental plate the oceanic plate will be forced down below the continental plate, forming island arcs.continental plates are thicker than oceanic plates.
What happens when a tectonic plate carrying oceanic crust collides with a tectonic plate carrying continental crust?
If the plates are moving at each other from directly opposite directions, the denser oceanic crust will subduct, or slide under the less dense continental crust, eventually melting back into the mantle. The hot gasses and pressure created by the melting process will seek release in the form of a volcano! :D
What are two Ways volcanoes Form near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
What are two ways volcanoes can forms near converging plate boundaries?
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
When are mountains most likely to form at convergent boundary?
When two continental plates collide or a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate.
What happens when 2 oceanic plates?
It makes a mountain.
Describe what happens when two plates carrying oceanic crust collide?
Best Answer:When two plates carrying oceanic crust collide, the resultis that one goes underneath the other - probably causinga tsunami - or an underwater earthquake.
What are tectonicsplates?
Tectonic plates.Tectonic plates are plates underneath Earth's surface that move very slowly. There are oceanic and continental plates. Of course, oceanic plates are plates under the ocean, and continental plates are plates underneath ground, or continents. Each of the plates carry the things above them, land or ocean. When two continental or oceanic plates collide, it causes a fold in Earth's surface, and an earthquake. Now, when a continental plate draws near and nearly collides with an oceanic plate, something called subduction occurs. Subduction is basically when the oceanic plate dips down below the continental plate, causing a trench.
What occurs when a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate and overtakes it?
When a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate and overtakes it, the denser oceanic plate is forced underneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. This creates a deep ocean trench, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes along the boundary between the two plates. The subduction process can also lead to the formation of mountain ranges on the overriding continental plate.
