well, there's two things. one, it's a convergent plate boundary, and two, it's called subduction when one plate goes under.

A reverse fault is formed by what type of tectonic plate boundary?
A convergent boundary!
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates?
Volcanic mountains over hot spots in the mantle. Fault-block
What does the presence of a mid-ocean ridge indicate?
It indicates the presence of a divergent tectonic plate boundary where new crust is being formed.
What is an ocean to ocean plate boundary?
A tectonic boundary where two oceanic lithospheric plates are either moving away from one another and new crust is formed, or moving toward each other, in which the more dense oceanic plate will subduct beneath the less dense plate.
When are island arc volcanoes formed?
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
When one tectonic plate descends beneath another what kind of boundary is formed?
This kind of boundary is mountainous.
What kind of boundary is formed what a tectonic plate pushed under another?
one talc

Does the Eurasian plate have a convergent boundary?
It has several! For example the Himalayas are formed due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.
What kind of boundary is located at the mid ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.

It is called plate boundarys :P
