Which fault would be found on divergent boundary?
Normal fault.
What type of boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate?
a convergent boundary. The oceanic plate is then subducted under the continental plate because it is denser. This subduction creates earthquakes and volcanoes
What is the word for a tectonic plate going under another causing mountains?
That would be called a Normal Fault. Normal Fault is when a tectonic plate appears to have moved down the fault, and the fault is said to be a normal fault.
What type of rock would most likely be at a subduction zone convergent boundary?
Sea floor bassalt and sediments.
What geologic structure would you find at a transform fault boundary?
Transform boundaries
Which fault would be found on divergent boundary?
Normal fault.
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge

What is the type of plate boundary where two plates move together causig one of the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath an overriding plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.

What geologic structure would you find at a transform fault boundary?
Transform boundaries
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.
How are plates moving at a sliding boundary?
In plate tectonics, a sliding boundary is considered a transform fault where the two merging plates slide past each other in the opposite direction. A great example of a transform fault would be in California along the San Andreas fault line.
What geologic features would you expect to find at a transform fault boundary?
I don´t know
Cause of deepest earthquakes?
subduction boundary. There are only few places around the world where ultra deep earthquakes happen The subduction boundary partially would answer this question but one of these events happened in SPAIN and there is not subduction zone there DEEPEST earthquakes now, can be divide in two parts, some happens below 300 kms but the deepest ones are below 500 km supposed to be the asthenosphere and supposed to be plastic... ( no brittle)
What plate boundery type does Mt.Pinatubo?
It covers parts of Pampanaga, Tarlac and Zambales on the Island of Luzon in the Philippenes, but its ash can be found all over the world.
