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 likely to be found in subduction zones?
Plate tectonics
Is St Helen volcano a result of a hot spot or subduction?
Mount St. Helens is a result of subduction as the Juan de Fuca Plate is pushed under the North American Plate.
Why is Japan more likely than Australia to have volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?
Answer Japan is located along a convergent plate boundary where oceanic crust is subducted under the continental crust. Plate collisions such as this will result in volcanism and earthquakes when the enormous pressures associated with such collisions is released through sudden plate movement. Australia is not located along a plate boundary.
What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?
subduction boundary!!!
What plate collisions would most likely result in the formation of the most extensive mountain ranges?
Continental plate to continental plate collisions.
What is the name of the process where ocean crust sinks back toward the mantle?
It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.
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 likely to be found in subduction zones?
Plate tectonics
Is St Helen volcano a result of a hot spot or subduction?
Mount St. Helens is a result of subduction as the Juan de Fuca Plate is pushed under the North American Plate.
What kind of plate boundary does MtFuji have?
Mt. Fuji is a result of subduction at a convergent plate margin.
What plates are causing colima volcano to form?
It is the result of the Cocos Plate subduction under the North American Plate.
Why is Japan more likely than Australia to have volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?
Answer Japan is located along a convergent plate boundary where oceanic crust is subducted under the continental crust. Plate collisions such as this will result in volcanism and earthquakes when the enormous pressures associated with such collisions is released through sudden plate movement. Australia is not located along a plate boundary.
Which of the following plate collisions would most likely result in the formation of the most extensive mountain range?
two pieces of continental crust meeting at a convergent boundary
What process is the result of a divergent plate boundary?
is formed at a divergent plate boundary
What plate collision would most likely happen in a subduction zone?
A subductive collision.
Aera where an oceanic plate goes down into the mantle?
A subduction zone at a convergent plate boundary. Undersea trenches are formed where the oceanic plate subducts, and volcanism and earthquakes may result from the partial melting and downward movement of the subducting crust.
