How does mount vesuvius relate to tectonic plates?
Mount Vesuvius is the result of a subduction zone, where one tectonic plate slides under another. In this case the portion of the African Plate that is under the Mediterranean is sliding under the Eurasian Plate. This generates magma tha allows volcanoes to form.
What is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
Subduction.
What can form when one oceanic plate subducts under another oceanic plate?
Tectonic
How does one tectonic plate become denser than another?
the different climates and clouds can make another plate denser then another.
What is a tectonic plate boundary?
The region where tectonic plates move toward, apart or horizontally past one another.
What forms when one tectonic plate slides under another?
earthquake
What is the name of the type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plates?
A destructive plate boundary - a subduction zone.
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.
How do tectonic plates converge?
Mountain building like the Himalayas. Or one plate slides under another.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates is a?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from collision between two tectonic plates is a?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
What happens when one tectonic plate slides against another?
An earthquake or tremmor may happen if the slide is strong enough.
What two plates formed mount Pinatubo?
Mt. Pinatubo is in a subduction zone. subduction is when one tectonic plate slides under another. In the Mt. Pinatubo area the Eurasian Plate slides under the Philippine Sea Plate at the Manila Trench.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonics plates?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.

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.
Is New York over a tectonic plate?
yes, all land masses are on one tectonic plate or another.
