It is a convergent boundary, where two plates move towards/collide/converge into each other. The lighter plate will then float above the denser plate. The part of the denser plate which sank will subduct then melt and become a magma chamber.This boundary is also known as a destructive boundary.

What is the name of the type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plates?
The type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another is called a convergent boundary. This process is known as subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other due to differences in density.
At which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.
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.
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 a collision between two tectonics plates?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
Does plate slide under another plate at a divergent plate boundary?
Yes it does!
What occurs when one plate slides under another plate?
Mountains and earth quakes.
What happens when a tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plate?
This happens at a plate boundary. The oceanic plate subducts (sinks) under the continental plate, because it is heavier. (the oceanic plate is made of basalt and the continental plate is made of granite.) This happens at a destructive plate margin. it is called this because part if the oceanic plate is destroyed, because it melts as it sinks.
What is it called when a plate boundary gets sucked under another?
Subduction.
This type of boundary forms when the crust of one plate is being pushed down and turned into molten rock?
The type of boundary that forms when the crust of one plate is pushed down under another plate and turned into molten rock is referred to as a convergent boundary. Convergent boundaries form when oceanic crust slides beneath continental crust.
What two plates formed mount Pinatubo?
Mt. Pinatubo is in a subduction zone. subduction is when one tectonic plate slides under another. In the Mt. Pinatubo area the Eurasian Plate slides under the Philippine Sea Plate at the Manila Trench.
When an oceanic plate moves under another plate the bending of the sinking plate creates a?
this is a destructive plate boundary. An earthquake and a vocano is created
