What kind of plate or part of a plate is most like to descend into the interior at the subduction zone?
The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone
What kind of plate or part of a plate is most like to descend into the interior at subduction zone?
The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone
Is a subduction zone a plate boundaries?
A subduction zone is where one plate is being subducted ( pulled down) under another plate, No it is not a plate boundary but it is were it happens. hope this helps
At a destructive plate margin what determines whether a subduction zone or collision zone is formed?
The density of the tectonic plates involved determines whether a subduction zone or collision zone is formed at a destructive plate margin. If one plate is denser than the other, it will subduct beneath the other plate, forming a subduction zone. If the plates have similar densities, they will collide and form a collision zone.
The area where one plate sinks into the asthenosphere underneath another plate is known as?
A subductilon zone
The area where a plate descends is a?
subduction zone
What is the subduction zone called when a oceanic and continental plate converge?
The subduction zone formed when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge is called an oceanic-continental subduction zone. In this setting, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep oceanic trenches.
What kind of plate boundary is the North American Plate and the Caribbean plate?
It is a subduction zone.
What plate collisions would most likely result in a subduction zone?
Convergent plate boundaries where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate or another oceanic plate are most likely to result in a subduction zone. In this scenario, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate, creating a subduction zone.
What kid of a zone is it where a continental place and an oceanic plate collide forcing the oceanic plate under?
This type of zone is called a subduction zone. At subduction zones, the oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate due to its denser composition. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep ocean trenches.
What is the plate boundary for unzen?
The plate boundary for Unzen volcano is the subduction zone where the Philippine Sea Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction zone is part of the larger convergent boundary between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
What is the focal length of a zone plate?
The focal length of a zone plate is typically determined by the number of zones it contains. It is usually equal to the radius of the outermost zone multiplied by the square of the number of zones.
