∙ 10y agothis type of boundary would be convergent! PS answers.com is a great website to use! im studying for science SLO and this helps get answers i forgot for my study guide!

What is the mechanical layer beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What type of boundary below occurs where two plates move together causing one plate to descend into the mantle beneath the other plate?
convergent boundary
What physical layer of earth is located beneath the lithosphere?
The asthenosphere.
What is the layer beneath the lithosphere made of slowly moving rock in the mantle?
mesosphere
When one tectonic plate descends beneath another what kind of boundary is formed?
This kind of boundary is mountainous.
What is the type of plate boundary where two plates together causing where the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath an overriding plate?
Subduction
At what kind of boundary does oceanic lithosphere plunge beneath and overriding continental plate?
Convergent oceanic-continental boundary

Why does oceanic lithosphere sink beneath continental lithosphere at convergent boundary's?
As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.
What kind of metamorphism might take place at a divergent boundary?
When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge!!!Hope i helped.
The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes a what?
The force that occurs at divergent boundaries is a convection force. This force allows material to rise to the base of the lithosphere beneath each divergent plate boundary.
How is the lithosphere different from the layer beneath it?
The layer beneath the lithosphere is much softer and flows very slowly.
What results when divergence occurs in the oceanic lithosphere?
A Mid-Ocean-Ridge develops leading to volcanism and the creation of new oceanic crust.
Layer of earth immediatly beneath the lithosphere?
Asthenosphere is directly before the lithosphere.
