How did the Pacific plate get its name?
The Pacific Plate got it name due it its location underneath the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Plate is the largest plate because consisting of 20 percent of earth's crust and contains Continental and ocean crust.
How big is the indo-australian plate?
No, it is not an oceanic plate. It is a continental plate but with oceanic crust. Crust is different from plate. A plate is made up of many crust. The crust under the ocean is oceanic crust, while the crust where continent is found is called continental crust. Most of the plates are made up off both continental and oceanic crust. If a plate has continental crusts, then it is a continental plate. Only if a plate is all made up of oceanic crusts, meaning that there is no land on it, then the plate is called oceanic plate. In the world, the major oceanic plates include Pacific Plate, Nazca Plate, Cocos Plate and Philippines Plate. Other are all continental plate.
Which feature is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust?
2.) an ocean trench
Where are the elder parts of the ocean floor located?
Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and (through the creation of new oceanic crust) is pushed toward a convergent plate boundary where it is subducted. So the oldest oceanic crust would be located at a convergent plate boundary where the oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust.
What tectonic plate is primarily comprised of seafloor crust?
Divergent plate boundaries are often found on the ocean floorâ??s crust. These are the type of tectonic plates that produce volcanoes and rifts.
How did the Pacific plate get its name?
The Pacific Plate got it name due it its location underneath the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Plate is the largest plate because consisting of 20 percent of earth's crust and contains Continental and ocean crust.
When the ocean floor collides with a crustal plate what happens?
it subducts underneath the crustal plate

What happens when a plate carrying ocean crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust?
The contiental cdrust is forced under the continental crust in a process called subduction.
What type plate margin are ocean trenches associated with?
Convergent plate margins where oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
Which feature is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust?
2.) an ocean trench
New crust forms on the ocean floor due to what process?
Plate tectonics.
Is north american plate oceanic?
NO!!! Most of it is above the ocena. However, the eastern seaboard of the USA marks the edge of the submarine part of that plate. If you look at a map of the eastern seaboard, without the ocean , the it fits neatly into the round should of Saharan North Africa; plate tectonics. !!!!!
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
Where are the elder parts of the ocean floor located?
Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and (through the creation of new oceanic crust) is pushed toward a convergent plate boundary where it is subducted. So the oldest oceanic crust would be located at a convergent plate boundary where the oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust.
Where is Ocean crust being destroyed?
At subduction zones along convergent plate boundaries.
