When two continental plates collide sometimes one plate slides beneath the other in a process known as subduction. When one continental plate slides beneath another......?
material from the Earth's surface is returned to the interior.
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 is another type of boundary where rock layers fold to form mountain ranges?
a boundary where an oceanic plate plunges beneath a continental plate
What happens during sudbuction?
During subduction, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate into the Earth's mantle. This typically occurs at convergent plate boundaries where two plates collide. As the subducting plate sinks into the mantle, it can cause various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?
subduction boundary!!!

What is formed when a dense ocean plate slides beneath a continental plate?
A subduction zone is formed.

These are formed when oceanic plates slide under continental plates?
When oceanic plates slide under continental plates they form subduction zones. Subduction zones always occur at convergent boundaries where one plate slides beneath another plate.
Why is oceanic lithosphere subducted during and oceanic continental collision where as the continental plate is not?
the oceanic plate is less bouyant so it slides under the continental plate
What is another type of boundary where rock layers fold to form mountain ranges?
a boundary where an oceanic plate plunges beneath a continental plate
When one continental plate slides beneath another what happens?
Water seeps into rock cracks and dissolves minerals there. The solution travels through cracks in the rocks, eventually concentrating into large crystals."The process above is a description o
What happens when the oceanic plate moves to the side and the oceanic plate slides past the continental plate?
adwadadada
As the oceanic plate slides beneath the overriding plate bends what is produced here?
A subduction zone or a trench.
What type of plate boundary is when one sinks beneath another?
A convergent plate boundary is where one of the plates is sinking beneath another, and the other one is being pushed on top of the subducting plate. This is called a subduction zone. This happens when denser, heavier oceanic crust meets less dense, thicker, continental crust.When two plates converge, and one is less dense, that plate goes under the more dense plate into the mantle, this is called subduction.subduction will happen and a volcano will be formed. when one plate slides beneath another one magma from earths mantle is being pushed up on earths surface.
The movement of one tectonic plate under another tectonic plate?
The movement of one tectonic plate under another occurs at convergent boundaries. For example, at this boundary denser oceanic crust slides under the lighter continental crust.
What is a plate called when it slides over another plate?
collision
