A chain reaction would happen causing either a vocano and/or an earthquake
Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate.
The tectonic plate under parts of Europe and Asia is a continental crustal plate.
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.
I guess you mean 'earthquake'. It happened because the Cocos tectonic plate pushed against and slid under the North American plate.
Some cities on tectonic plate boundaries include Tokyo, Japan (Pacific Plate), San Francisco, USA (Pacific Plate), Istanbul, Turkey (Anatolian Plate), and Mexico City, Mexico (North American Plate). These cities are at risk of earthquakes and other seismic activities due to their proximity to tectonic plate boundaries.
The North American plate.
The Pacific Plate is the largest tectonic plate and is covered entirely by the Pacific Ocean.
Its under the South American Plate
Tectonic
one plate, the pacific plate
When tectonic plates come together or go under or over each other, forms a volcano. that what tectonic plates do form volcanoes!!! Thank you
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
