What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?
subduction boundary!!!
What type tectonic plate boundary forms the Mariana trench?
A Transform Fault ZoneIn the textbook Earth Science and the Environment (4th Edition) by Thompson and Turk. Located on page 163, it shows that Tonga has a Convergent Boundary. A convergent boundary is where two lithospheic plates collide head on.
Does a subduction occur in a convergent boundary?
Subduction is when one of the plates is forced down beneath the other plate at the convergent boundary.
What kind of plate boundary is the North American Plate and the Caribbean plate on?
It is a subduction zone.
What plate boundary forms arcs of volcanoes and deep-ocean trenches?
A convergent plate boundary where subduction occurs.

What plate boundary is reclus volcano located on?
I think the plate boundary is in the subduction zone.
Why are there few volcanoes in the Himalaya?
There is no subduction occurring.
What plate boundary melts crust?
Subduction.
Does a subduction occur in a convergent boundary?
Subduction is when one of the plates is forced down beneath the other plate at the convergent boundary.
What kind of plate boundary is the North American Plate and the Caribbean plate on?
It is a subduction zone.
What kind of plate boundary is the North American Plate and the Caribbean plate?
It is a subduction zone.
What plate boundary forms arcs of volcanoes and deep-ocean trenches?
A convergent plate boundary where subduction occurs.
Is Krakatoa a divergent convergent or transform boundary?
Krakatoa is an convergent boundary with a subduction zone
Does the Caribbean plate have a convergant boundary?
The Caribbean plate has a number of convergent boundarys including subduction zone boundaries at its western margin where the Cocos plate is being forced under the North American and Caribbean plate, at it's eastern margin there is another subduction zone. Further to this there is some subduction and thrust faulting occurring at the complex southern boundary with the South American plate (where transform faulting also occurs). Please see the related link for more information.
Which boundary will you find a trench in the sea floor?
A destructive plate boundary (WITH a subduction zone!)
