Where two plates collide

∙ 8y agoSubduction happens when two tectonic plates are being forced together at what is known as a convergent boundary. When an oceanic plate meets a continental plate (or another oceanic plate that is younger and so hotter and less dense), the denser plate will be forced underneath the less dense plate and down into the mantle.
The sinking plate usually causes a deep trench to form in the adjacent ocean floor and oceanic trenches like the Mariana Trench are examples of these. The longest chain of subducting plate boundaries is that which rims the Pacific Ocean.
Subduction occurs between two tectonic plates, when they collide.

∙ 12y agoSubduction occurs where a oceanic plate and a continental plate converge. The oceanic plate is more dense, so it will slip under the continental plate, thus creating a subduction zone.

Photosynthesis occurs in what organelles?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plants and green algae.
What occurs in the mitochondria?
Aerobic respiration take place in Mitochondria.Electron transport chain and Kreb cycle take place.
Does photosynthesis take place in the mitochondria?
No. In a eukaryote cell photosynthesis will only take place in chloroplasts, which are organellesin the cytoplasm.
Where does photosynthesis usually occur?
Photosynthesis occurs usually occurs in the leaves. It occurs where there is most chlorophyll.
Where does cellular respiration takes place?
Cellular respiration occurs in three main steps. The first step takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. The last two steps take place in the mitochondria(or if cellular respiration is taking place inside of a plant then the last two steps would take place in the chloroplasts) of the cell. Specifically, the second step occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria and the last step occurs along the inner membrane of the mitochondria, or the cristae.
what is place where subduction occurs?
Where two plates collide
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.
What occurs at subduction zones?
Trenches
Where does subduction happen?
subduction occurs where 2 continents meet or where the tectonic plates meet. :)
What is a subducation zone?
A subduction zone is a place that occurs between two tectonic plates. It is the site where these tectonic plates have collided.
Areas where earthquake occurs?
subduction zones
What occurs at convergent plate boundarie?
subduction
Mountain formation can result when what occurs?
When subduction occurs at points of plates collision.
Were does subduction take place?
Subduction occurs when an oceanic plate slides under a continental plate. When the oceanic plate does this, it descends into the mantle, and the place where the subduction begins forms a deep-ocean trench.
Where does Subduction take place on the ocean floor?
Subduction of the ocean floor takes place at trenches.
What occurs when sea plates collide with continental plates?
subduction
When Crust is destroyed.?
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
