What is the process of one plate moving beneath another?
The process of one tectonic plate moving beneath another is called subduction. This usually occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is forced beneath the other due to differences in density. Subduction zones can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
String of volcanic landforms along a convergent boundarie?
island arc
What happens to the lithosphere at convergent plate boundarie?
At convergent plate boundaries, the lithosphere is subjected to tectonic forces that cause one tectonic plate to be forced beneath another in a process called subduction. This can result in the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and mountain ranges, as well as seismic activity such as earthquakes.
Which plate boundary occurs as continental crust collides with continental crust?
Convergent plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary occurs between the Nazca and South American Plate?
A convergent plate boundary occurs between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the formation of the Andes mountain range.
Is subduction convergent or divergent?
Subduction is a convergent boundary where one tectonic plate moves beneath another plate into the Earth's mantle. This process occurs at plate boundaries where two plates are moving towards each other.
What type of plate occurs between the nazca plate and South American plate?
It forms a convergent boundary with the South American Plate, divergent.
What type of movement occurs at plate boundaries?
Convergent,Divergent, and Transform Boundaries
What type of plate boundry occurs between the Nazca Plate and South American Plate?
It forms a convergent boundary with the South American Plate, divergent.
What occurs when the edge of one plate at a convergent boundary slips beneath the edge of another plate and begins to melt?
none
What kind of stress occurs at a converging boundary?
Compressional stresses occur at convergent plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary occurs between the Philippine plate and the Pacific plate?
it does not lie on a plte boundary but near the pacific plate
