When convergent plates collide one is pushed beneath the other plate and sinks into the Earth's mantle. This process is known as subduction. Subduction creates trenches in the ocean, which is why trenches and associated with convergent plates.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the boundary where two plates collide?
coliding boundary
What was the plate boundary on the San Fernando earthquake?
convergant
What is the movement of the convergent boundary?
A convergant boundary is destructive because the plates approach one another.
What causes magma to form at a convergant plate?
the mid ocean ridges cause the magma to form at a convergent plate boundary.
What boundary did Mount Vesuvious form from?
The type of plate boundary the Vesuvius is located on it a subduction zone in latitude 40.9n and 14e. It lies on the convergant boundry of the African and Euasian plates.
What is the action and result of a convergent boundary?
Naturally, Compression! Converge= Collide, Compress= Force together, put it all together; CONVERGANT BOUNDRY!!!!
Which plate is covering most of two continents?
convergant boundary and divergant boundary
What type of volcano occurs along a convergant plate boundary?
A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is the type of volcano that occurs along a convergent plate boundary. These volcanoes are typically steep-sided and have explosive eruptions due to the presence of viscous magma.
What plate is causing mt.fuj to form?
Mt Fuji is located on three plates. Those three plates are: Amurian, Okhotsk, and the Filipino located directly below Fuji.
What is the effect of Convergent Boundary?
Earthquakes
Is erta ale on a convergant boundarie?
Erta Ale is not located on a convergent boundary; it is situated in the Afar Triangle in Ethiopia, which is a region characterized by a divergent boundary. This area is where the African, Arabian, and Somali tectonic plates are moving apart, leading to volcanic activity. Erta Ale is known for its ongoing volcanic activity and is home to one of the few permanent lava lakes in the world.
What does a convergant boundary form?
There are three types of convergent boundaries: Oceanic, continental, and continental-oceanic convergent boundaries. Continental-continental convergent boundaries form mountain ranges. Continental-oceanic boundaries result in subduction zones and the recycling of lithosphere. The continental side of the boundary may form a mountain range. Oceanic-oceanic form deep oceanic trenches and sometimes volcanoes.
