When a moving plate collides and is pushed under another plate?
When a moving plate collides and is pushed under another plate it is known as a subduction zone. Subduction zones are located at convergent bounties. The plate that is pushed beneath the other plate is then consumed in the asthenosphere.
Which type of landform develop at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another?
The landform that develops at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another is known as a volcanic islands arc.
One plate sinking beneath another?
Subduction
When a plate is pushed into another plate what process is that?
A convergent boundary is formed when a plate is pushed into another by the process of subduction.
What is a region where one lithospheric plate is being forced beneath another?
The area or region where one plate dives beneath the other in a convergent plate boundary is called a subduction zone.
The process of one plate moving beneath another?
body waves
The deflection of one lithospheric plate beneath another plate with which it is colliding is called what?
This process is known as subduction.

When a moving plate collides and is pushed under another plate it is known as a subduction zone. Subduction zones are located at convergent bounties. The plate that is pushed beneath the other plate is then consumed in the asthenosphere.
What process is evident at oceanic trenches?
subduction, which is when one tectonic plate is pushed down beneath another tectonic plate.
When two continental plates collide sometimes one plate slides beneath the other in a process known as subduction. When one continental plate slides beneath another......?
material from the Earth's surface is returned to the interior.
How was the cascade range formed?
The Cascade Range was formed by the subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate beneath the North American plate. This process created volcanic activity along the subduction zone, leading to the formation of the Cascade volcanoes. The range extends from northern California to British Columbia, with peaks such as Mount Rainier and Mount Hood.
What is an ocean to ocean plate boundary?
A tectonic boundary where two oceanic lithospheric plates are either moving away from one another and new crust is formed, or moving toward each other, in which the more dense oceanic plate will subduct beneath the less dense plate.
Which type of landform develop at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another?
The landform that develops at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another is known as a volcanic islands arc.
One plate sinking beneath another?
Subduction
Which plate is subducting beneath South American plate?
Nazca
What process is triggered as the slab descends beneath the other plate?
Subduction.
What process in Earth's interior causes subduction and sea-floormspreading?
Convective flows of molten rock beneath the Earth's crust causes tectonic plates to spread apart in one area and to sink or be subducted beneath another plate at the opposite edge of the plate.
