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 process is evident at oceanic trenches?
subduction, which is when one tectonic plate is pushed down beneath another tectonic plate.
What is the process plate tectonic?
shaking
When the rock making up a tectonic plate breaks and moves?
A Fault(:
What happens when a tectonic plate moves rapidly?
Usually an earthquake occurs.
Does subduction happen at a plate boundary?
Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate.
How does plates affect the surface of the surface?
when tectonic plate collides with other tectonic plates or moves into another tectonic plate it affects surface in a way to create mountains. Like Himalayas are created when the indian tectonic plate collided with asian tectonic plate.

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
What is created where one plate move under another?
A volcano is most often formed whon one tectonic plate moves under another
What process is evident at oceanic trenches?
subduction, which is when one tectonic plate is pushed down beneath another tectonic plate.
What is the difference between plate tectonic and tectonic plate?
Plate Tectonics is the process by by which the earth's tectonic plates move.
What happens in a seduction zone of the earth's crust?
the correct term is subduction zone. In geology, 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 mantle, as the plates converge. from wikipedia.com
