Techtonic plates move under the earth moving land and water.
What else can I help you with?
How many plates are under the Pacific Ocean?
one plate, the pacific plate
Does an ocean crustal plate rises at a convergent boundary with a continental plate?
No. It subducts under the continental plate.
Where do trenches form?
Treches are formed when an ocean plate subducts under a continental plate.
What causes an ocean trench form?
subduction of an oceanic plate under a continental plate.
How many tectonic plates are under the Pacific Ocean?
one plate, the pacific plate
How many plate lie under the pacific ocean?
12
Where do mid ocean ridges?
Mid-Ocean Ridges forms where a continental plate slides under an oceanic plate. I hope this is what your looking for ! ! !:D
What is the process of an an ocean plate meeting and pushing under a land plate called?
The process of an ocean plate meeting and pushing under a land plate is called subduction. This occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where the denser oceanic plate sinks beneath the less dense continental plate. Subduction can cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
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.
Which plate is subducting beneath South American plate?
Nazca
Do the Plates include the lithosphere under the ocean?
Yes, several of the plates have their margins under the oceans. The Pacific Plate would be the plate with the largest area under the seas.
What feature forms when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate?
When an ocean plate collides with a continental plate, a subduction zone occurs and forms a deep trench. An ocean plate is more dense while a continental plate is less dense which causes the ocean plate to go under the continental plate and pull the land and water down, forming a trench.
