What else can I help you with?
What happens at a convergent boundary when a land and ocean plates meet?
In almost all cases the oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate, creating a trench on the seafloor off the coast and an arch of volcanoes inland on the continent. The lava of these volcanoes has a high water content, making their eruptions very explosive.
What happens when plate boundaries meet?
Volcanos,,,, Mountain Building
What is happening where two earth plate meet?
A tsunami happens.
Where do plate tectonics meet?
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
What happens when a continental plate and an oceanic plate meet?
Earthquakes, tsunami's. you name it and it could happen
Where oes the ocean meet land?
sea level
What cause both igneous and metamorphic rock to form where a land plate and ocean plate meet?
When a land plate and an ocean plate meet, it usually results in subduction, where the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate. The intense heat and pressure generated during this process can lead to the formation of both igneous and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks can form from the melting of crustal material due to the high temperatures, while metamorphic rocks can form from the alteration of existing rocks under the pressure and heat conditions.
What happens when two ocean palates meet?
Earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados
Do most earthquakes occur under the ocean floor or on land?
Most earthquakes occur on the ocean floor, particularly along tectonic plate boundaries such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. However, earthquakes can also occur on land where tectonic plates meet, such as along faults like the San Andreas Fault in California.
Is a coastline when water touches land?
Yes, it is. It is when a large body of water (an ocean) touches the land. :)
What are the three types of convergent?
The three types of convergent boundaries are when two plates meet and two oceanic plate meet, or where an oceanic and continental plate meet.the three types of convergent boundaries are continent boundaries , continent - ocean boundaries, and last but not least............. ocean boundaries
What happens when two oceanic plates meet?
When two oceanic plates meet, one plate is usually forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity. Earthquakes can also occur along the boundary between the two plates.
