What does an ocean plate make when it collides with a continental plate?
a volcano a mountain or a earthquake
What crustal feature is a result of divergent plate movement?
Mid-ocean ridge
Does Ireland have a crustal plate?
the eurasian plate
How does the movement of the earth's crustal plates cause the formation of ocean basins?
Through the reduction or enlargement of oceanic plates via plate tectonics.
A seafloor plate collides with a continal plate.what will happen?
The oceanic plate (sea-floor plate) is denser than the continental plate, so the oceanic plate will be pulled under the continental plate (subduction) and into the upper mantle, creating an underwater volcano.
When the ocean floor collides with a crustal plate what happens?
it subducts underneath the crustal plate
What does an ocean plate make when it collides with a continental plate?
a volcano a mountain or a earthquake
What feature is formed when an ocean plate collides with a continental plate?
When an ocean plate collides with a continental plate, a subduction zone occurs and forms a deep trench. An ocean plate is more dense while a continental plate is less dense which causes the ocean plate to go under the continental plate and pull the land and water down, forming a trench.
When an ocean plate collides with a continental plate it does what?
It subducts under the continental plate because the oceanic plate is denser.
When a continental crustal plate collides with an oceanic crustal plate the continental crust is forced to move over the oceanic crust What is the primary reason that the continental crust stays on?
Continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust.
Does an ocean crustal plate rises at a convergent boundary with a continental plate?
No. It subducts under the continental plate.

What crustal feature is a result of divergent plate movement?
Mid-ocean ridge
What crustal features are formed by plate movement?
Deep ocean ridges, ocean trenches, mountain ranges, volcanoes, faultlines
How are crustal features related to plate tectonics?
well i think that it is that plate tectonics are when they move by earthquakes and crustal features are when they discribe the crustal and the plate tectonics.
What occurs when a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate and overtakes it?
When a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate and overtakes it, this is known as subduction.
