What type of plate collision does not result in subduction of one plate under the other?
A divergent boundary does not result in the subduction of one plate under the other.
What is the difference between subduction zone and collision zone destrutive plate margin?
A subduction zone and a collision zone are the same place, a collision just happens earlier, when the crusts of the two plates are interacting. Later, when the crust of one plate is being forced under the crust of another plate into the mantle, it becomes a subduction zone.
What is likely to be found in subduction zones?
Plate tectonics
At a destructive plate margin what determines whether a subduction zone or collision zone is formed?
If two cont. crusts collide then you get a collision zone. If cont. crust collides with oceanic crust then you get a subduction zone.
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.
Is crust formed or destroyed at each type of plate boundary?
Divergent: Created Collision\Subduction: Destroyed
How long does subduction happen?
A plate will subduct for tens to hundreds of millions of years.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonics plates?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates is a?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from collision between two tectonic plates is a?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
Explain how a mountain range can be formed by an oceanic plate and a continental plate?
A mountain range can be formed by the collision of an oceanic plate and a continental plate. This creates a subduction zone which eventually leads to the formation of a range of mountains.
What plate boundary was the l'aquila earthquake 2009?
My best guess is a collision boundry but it mentions subduction in the report so I'm not sure
