What does oceanic plates mean?
Oceanic plates are sections of the Earth's lithosphere that form the bedrock beneath the world's oceans. These plates are typically denser and younger than continental plates, and they are constantly moving due to the process of plate tectonics. Subduction zones are often found at the boundaries where oceanic plates meet continental plates.
When two oceanic plates meet at a convergent boundary which plate pushes below the other plate?
At a convergent boundary where two oceanic plates meet, the denser plate will typically subduct below the less dense plate. The denser plate is usually the older, cooler, and more compacted of the two plates.
What are 3 types of convergent boundaries and what landforms are associated with them?
Oceanic-continental boundaries: characterized by oceanic crust subducting beneath continental crust, creating volcanic arcs and mountain ranges. Oceanic-oceanic boundaries: involve one oceanic plate subducting under another oceanic plate, resulting in deep-sea trenches and volcanic island arcs. Continental-continental boundaries: where two continental plates collide, leading to the formation of large mountain ranges and extensive fault systems.
What plates meet in subductive zones?
Oceanic plates typically subduct beneath continental plates or other oceanic plates at subduction zones. The denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of features such as deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.
What plates carry continents?
continetal plate
What happens when two oceanic plates meet?
When two oceanic plates meet, one plate is usually forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity. Earthquakes can also occur along the boundary between the two plates.
Where does oceanic and continental plates meet?
Oceanic and continental plates meet at convergent plate boundaries. At these boundaries, the denser oceanic plate is typically subducted beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of features such as deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
What is the result when continental plates meet oceanic plates?
If the plates are moving toward each other, the more dense oceanic plate will subduct underneath the less dense continental plate. Mountain ranges and volcanism may result as the water saturated subducting oceanic crust creates molten rock which attempts to rise to the surface.
What are the 2 types of divergent boundaries and what happens in each?
continetal and oceanic
