What else can I help you with?
When an oceanic plate moves under another plate the bending of the sinking plate creates a?
this is a destructive plate boundary. An earthquake and a vocano is created
What is the current sinking?
when you are floating and then you start moving and then you fall beneth water when you are floating and then you start moving and then you fall beneth water
Lithosphere sinking into mantle What plate boundary?
The lithosphere sinking into the mantle occurs at a convergent plate boundary, specifically in subduction zones. In these regions, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, typically an oceanic plate descending beneath a continental plate or another oceanic plate. This process leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. The subduction of the lithosphere is a key driver of tectonic activity and geological phenomena associated with plate interactions.
One plate sinking beneath another?
Subduction
What is One plate sinking under another?
Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate slides beneath another into the Earth's mantle at convergent plate boundaries. This process is commonly associated with the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs, and it is a key mechanism driving plate tectonics and shaping the Earth's surface.
What is the term used to describe ocean floor sinking into a deep-ocean trench?
Subduction is the term used to describe the process of one tectonic plate sinking beneath another at a deep-ocean trench. This occurs when a denser oceanic plate slides under a less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of deep-sea trenches and volcanic arcs.
How does subduction work in the process of plate tectonics?
Subduction is the process where one tectonic plate moves beneath another plate at a convergent boundary. This occurs because the denser plate sinks into the mantle, creating a subduction zone. The sinking plate can cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
What is the location where sinking of a plate occurs is called?
squat-thrust
What is the plate with oceanic crust sinking under one another plate with oceanic crust?
When one plate sinks under the other, it is callled subduction, no matter what kind of plate it is. When two oceanic plates collide, they form trenches(i.e. the mariana trench). Hope this answers your question!!!
What are happening to the earths plates in Japan Trench?
The pacific oceanic plate is sinking beneath conential plate
You are one plate sinking beneath another?
The principle behind this phenomenon is known as plate tectonics, where lithospheric plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere. When one plate subducts beneath another, it forms a convergent boundary. This process can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and seismic activity.
Plate with oceanic crust sinking under another plate with oceanic crust?
When two oceanic plates or two plates both containing oceanic crust collide or converge, the convergent boundary will form a trench. The plate which has the higher density will plunge beneath the other plate forming a trench.
