What does the passive continental margin have that the active margin does not?
Subduction. A subduction trench.
What is the name of the process where ocean crust sinks back toward the mantle?
It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.
A passive continental margin has a while an active margin does not.?
An active continental margin may have a trench.
The process of an oceanic plate colliding with and descending underneath a continental plate?
The oceanic crust is subducted underneath the continental crust. This process is known as subduction.
Which theory suggested that the earth was once a single supercontinents that gradually broke up into the continents that we know today?
Sea floor spreading Subduction Plate tectonics Continental sift theory
Why are subduction zones not commonly found at convergent continental continental-continental boundaries?
because the subduction eventually brings the two continents together.
Why are subduction zones not commonly found at continental-continental boundaries?

What evidence is there to prove that continents are still moving and colliding?
The fact that there are subduction zones where continental plates meet !
What is the zones places where the seafloor is forced under continents to drift?
Subduction zones are where the seafloor is forced under continental plates.
What does a continental margin have that an active margin does not?
Subduction. A subduction trench.
What does the passive continental margin have that the active margin does not?
Subduction. A subduction trench.
What does a active continental margin have that a passive margin does not?
Subduction. A subduction trench.
What is the density to continental to Continental?
They are less dense that is why there is no subduction zone
Where does subduction happen?
subduction occurs where 2 continents meet or where the tectonic plates meet. :)
