What is it called when earth's plates push one under another?
This process is known as subduction.
What occurs when two plates collide and one of the plates dips below the other?
It is called subduction. When subduction occurs one plate slips beneath the other and sinks into the Earth's mantle and creates a trench.
Location of frequent earthquakes at the subduction zone?
Ocean Trench
What replaces magma in the Earth?
The subduction and melting of oceanic crust replaces magma in the earth.
What is it called when two plates slide one under the other?
It is known as subduction.
What is the meaning of subducation zone?
A subduction zone is an area on Earth where two tectonic plates move towards one another and subduction occurs. Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the Earth's crust, as the plates converge
Process where one of Earth's plates is forced beneath the edge of another?
subduction zone
What is it called when earth's plates push one under another?
This process is known as subduction.
The location where the sinking of one plate beneath the other in a collisional boundary occurs is called a?
It is called a subduction zone.
A deep valley caused when one section of the Earth's surface is forced downward?
That is a subduction trench.
How a subduction zone forms?
When two plates move together (at least one must be oceanic crust), one will sink beneath the other. The result is that a subduction zone forms between the two plates at the location where they meet.
What occurs when two plates collide and one of the plates dips below the other?
It is called subduction. When subduction occurs one plate slips beneath the other and sinks into the Earth's mantle and creates a trench.
Location of frequent earthquakes at the subduction zone?
Ocean Trench
A deep trench in the earth is called?
subduction
What is the noun for the movement of one of earth's heavier tectonic plates underneath a lighter tectonic plate?
Subduction.
Would the most violent earth quacks be associated with spreading centers or subduction zones?
subduction zones
When regions of earth's surface sink down?
The earth's crust sinking in is called subduction. It is usually associated with tectonic plate movement. When one plate slides over another and pushes the other downward.
