Long chains of volcanoes tend to be located near?
the inner core
What is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
Subduction.
What happens when an oceanic plate moves under a continental plate?
Subduction occurs and oceanic trench is formed.
What happens when an oceanic plate moves under a conitental plates through a subduction?
it is the hawaii
Do deep sea trenches cause damage?
Deep sea trenches are caused by one tectonic plate subducting under another. It is not the trenches which cause damage, it is the earthquakes caused by the subducting of one plate moving against the other.
What is created where one plate move under another?
A volcano is most often formed whon one tectonic plate moves under another
When an oceanic plate moves under another plate the bending of the sinking plate creates a?
this is a destructive plate boundary. An earthquake and a vocano is created
Does subduction happen at a plate boundary?
Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate.
What happens under the sea that a tsunami has to take place?
When two tectonic plates move. For example one goes under another to cause water to be pushed up and more the plate moves higher the tsunami is.
Long chains of volcanoes tend to be located near?
the inner core
What is a subducting plates?
When one plate moves under the other plate
What forces cause changes to volcanoes?
Plate tectonics. As a plate moves under another plate the water in it is heated and rises through the Earth. It will easily follow paths that lead to a volcanoes ports or tubes. When enough pressure builds up in the blocked tubes there is an explosion. Sometimes magma will flow.
What is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
Subduction.
When one plate slides underneath of another plate it is called?
This process is known as subduction.
What happens to the earths crust at a subbduction zone?
In a subduction zone, an oceanic plate moves under another plate (whether continental or oceanic). Sometimes pressure builds up, and earthquakes occur.
What happens when an oceanic plate moves under a continental plate?
Subduction occurs and oceanic trench is formed.
Does plate slide under another plate at a divergent plate boundary?
Yes it does!
