What is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
Subduction.
What process is evident at oceanic trenches?
subduction, which is when one tectonic plate is pushed down beneath another tectonic plate.
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 tectonic plate is in the continent of Africa on?
The tectonic plate is called the African Plate.
Are plate tectonic plate boundaries?
No, plate boundaries is part of the explanation of the Plate Tectonic theory:)
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 is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
Subduction.
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.
The process by which a tectonic plate consisting of less heavy rock rides up over a heavier plate is known as?
The process by which a tectonic plate consisting of less heavy rock rides up over a heavier plate is known as subduction. The opposite of this process is called obduction.
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 in which continents slowly move called?
This is tectonic plate movement.
What is the movement plates called?
The movement of tectonic plates is part of the process known as plate tectonics.
What is the difference between plate tectonics and tectonic plate?
There are two types of tectonic plates:oceanic plates, thin and dense composed mostly of basalt rockcrustal plates, thick and light composed mostly of granite rock
What tectonic plate is Russia on?
huh? what is a tectonic plate?

What tectonic plate is in the continent of Africa on?
The tectonic plate is called the African Plate.
What process is the result of a divergent plate boundary?
is formed at a divergent plate boundary
