What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?
subduction boundary!!!
When 1 plate is forced beneath another?
Subduction
What type of tectonic plate boundary that sometimes has a subduction zone is called?
Tectonic plates that are convergent are "crashing into" each other at this collision boundary, and a subduction zone there is possible. One of the plates will "dive under" the other one. This creates uplift, "hot spots" or volcanic "risers" and instability along the boundary. The west coast of the United States is a good example. A link is provided below.
What kind of plate boundary does subduction take place at?
A convergent plate boundary. a piece of continental crust and a piece of oceanic crust meeting at a convergent boundary.
What builds up earths surface?
Earth's land surface is built up by a process called tectonic subduction.Related Information:This process occurs as one tectonic plate is subducted (slips under) another, while the subducting plate is elevated as it moves over the subducted plate. The subducted plate is most commonly a oceanic plate.
What is it called when one plate is pushed another plate as they collide?
subduction boundary!!!
What property of the plates determines which play is subducted at a convergent boundary?
Subduction is the movement of one tectonic plate under another. The property of the plates that determines which plate is subducted at convergent boundaries is density.
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

Define and relate the following to the plate tectonics theory?
There are 2 tectonics theories namely: divergent boundary and subduction zone. The boundary of the plate tectonics where two plates are placed is called divergent boundary while the subduction zone is a convergent boundary where in one plate is subducted on another.
At which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.
When 1 plate is forced beneath another?
Subduction
A trench forms when?
In geology a trench is formed where one tectonic plate is subducted or forced under another plate.
What type of fault was the Great Chilean Earthquake on?
The plate boundary the Chile earthquake occurred on in 2010 was the converging boundary. A converging boundary is when two plates move closer together. In this case the converging boundary moved so close together that the plates hut one another. They then subducted under on another and the earthquake was formed.
