What kind of boundary can sea floor spreading occur?
subducting
Do the aleutian islands occur at a divergent or convergent boundary?
The Aleutian Islands are located at a convergent boundary, where the Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate. This geological process creates volcanic activity and leads to the formation of the islands. The ongoing convergence results in significant earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the region.
What do we call the boundary where the plates move toward each other?
Convergence Boundary.
What do we call the plate boundary where plates are moving towards each other?
Convergence Boundary.
Are subducting plate boundaries the same as convergent plate boundaries?
Yes, subducting plate boundaries are a type of convergent plate boundary where one tectonic plate moves under another plate. Convergent plate boundaries, in general, are locations where two tectonic plates move towards each other. Subduction is a specific mechanism of convergence.
What is subducting ocean plate?
A subducting ocean plate is a tectonic plate that is moving beneath another plate at a convergent boundary. As it moves, the subducting plate is forced down into the Earth's mantle, creating a subduction zone. This process can lead to volcanic activity, earthquakes, and the formation of deep ocean trenches.
What plate boundary was the Shensi Earthquake?
Convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate.
What type of plate boundary does reventador occur on?
Reventador volcano is located on the South American Plate boundary where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath it. This type of plate boundary is known as a convergent boundary.
What is it called when a mountain is formed away from a convergence?
non boundary mountains
What kind of boundry forms when two plates collide?
A Convergence Boundary.
What does an oceanic-continental convergence give rise to?
An oceanic-continental convergence typically results in the oceanic plate subducting beneath the continental plate due to its higher density. This can lead to the formation of volcanic mountain ranges on the continental plate, as magma generated by the subducted plate rises to the surface and forms volcanoes. Additionally, intense seismic activity and the potential for tsunamis can also be associated with this type of plate boundary.
What divergent boundary convergent boundary or hot spot is Mount Fuji over?
It is not on a plate boundary. Therefore it may be on hotspot.
