What plate boundary forms arcs of volcanoes and deep-ocean trenches?
A convergent plate boundary where subduction occurs.
The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes a what?
The force that occurs at divergent boundaries is a convection force. This force allows material to rise to the base of the lithosphere beneath each divergent plate boundary.
How does a volcanic erruption occurs?
Its when either on a destructive plate boundary where the oceanic plate and Continental plate move towards each other, the heavier oceanic plate sinks beneath the Continental plate then the oceanic plate melts in Subduing boundary. Or on a constructive plate boundary when the plates (North American plate and Eurasian plates) are pulled apart by convection currents and Liquid or magma rises between them, forming small volcanoes on the ocean floor. It hardens to basalt which forms the ocean floor. :D
What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
What type of plate boundary does shearing occur?
It Occurs at a transform boundary
What plate boundary forms arcs of volcanoes and deep-ocean trenches?
A convergent plate boundary where subduction occurs.
What type of boundary below occurs where two plates move together causing one plate to descend into the mantle beneath the other plate?
convergent boundary
The location where the sinking of one plate beneath the other in a collisional boundary occurs is called a?
It is called a subduction zone.
What occurs when the edge of one plate at a convergent boundary slips beneath the edge of another plate and begins to melt?
none
Are volcanoes typically formed inland?
No. Those volcanoes that form on continents usually form near the coast. Most of the world's volcanic activity actually occurs beneath the surface of the ocean.
What type of boundary occurs where two plates moves together causing one plate to descend into the mantle beneath the other plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.
What type boundary occurs where two plates move together causing one plate to descend into the mantle beneath the other plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.
What type of boundary occurs where two plates move together cause the one plate to descend into the mantle beneath the other plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.
What type of boundary occurs where two plates move together cause one plate to descend into the mantle beneath the other plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.
The force tension at a divergent plate boundary causes a what?
The force that occurs at divergent boundaries is a convection force. This force allows material to rise to the base of the lithosphere beneath each divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary occurs where two plates move together causing one plate to descend in to the mantle beneath the other plate?
You describe a subduction zone.
What kind of metamorphism might take place at a divergent boundary?
When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge!!!Hope i helped.
