In subduction zones, an oceanic plate moves under another (oceanic or continental) plate.

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 forms when one tectonic plate slides under another?
earthquake
What plates slide past each other?
A transformed plate margin is the plate that slides past each other
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.
List and describe the evidence for the plate tectonics theory?
I Have One: 1. Continenta and Oceanic Plates The thinner ocean plate slides underneath the thicker continental plate I Don't Really Know The Rest But I Hope This One Helped
What is a plate called when it slides over another plate?
collision
How and where material is destroyed in the earth's crust?
I believe it is destoryed along a convergent plate boundry where one plate slides underneath another.
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 happens when a plate slides against another plate?
it has transform boundary
How is the lava formed insind a volcano?
When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, it forms a volcano. The oceanic plate subducts underneath the continental plate. As the oceanic plate slides underneath, a magma chamber is formed. This magma chamber is what feeds the volcano.
What occurs when one plate slides under another plate?
Mountains and earth quakes.
Where does a earthquake start?
Where a tectonic plate slides past another.
When one tectonic plate slides on one another?
earthquake
What forms when one tectonic plate slides under another?
earthquake
What is it called when a heavier plate dives underneath a lighter plate?
Subduction
When one continental plate slides under another this is formed?
When one plate slides beneath another it is said to subduct. This is called a subduction zone. However, a continental plate cannot subduct, only an oceanic plate can. When two continental plates collide the land between them is squeezed horizontally, forming mountain ranges. Eventually the continental land masses will fuse together.
What plates slide past each other?
A transformed plate margin is the plate that slides past each other
