The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.

What is a region where one lithospheric plate is being forced beneath another?
The area or region where one plate dives beneath the other in a convergent plate boundary is called a subduction zone.
How is tectonic movement producing the Himalayan mountain range?
A continental plate is colliding with another continental plate, causing upward motion. A lithospheric plate is colliding with another lithospheric plate of similar bouyancy, causing upward motion.
Is the Pacific Plate sliding past the North American plate?
Yes, it is. It is called the San Andreas Fault, where it is a transform plate boundary.
What is platetonics?
one plate of earth crust sliding under another plate
When a plate is pushed into another plate what process is that?
A convergent boundary is formed when a plate is pushed into another by the process of subduction.
Which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
Destructive/convergent
How was the cascade range formed?
The cascade range was formed by subduction which is the process by which one lithospheric plate is forced beneath another lithospheric plate, usually along a convergent plate boundary
Which type of plate boundary involves two plates sliding alongside one another?
This is known as a transform boundary.
What is is the subduction zone?
A collisional plate boundary along which one lithospheric plate overrides another and produces a deep-sea trench, a volcanic arc, and seismicity.
What is a region where one lithospheric plate is being forced beneath another?
The area or region where one plate dives beneath the other in a convergent plate boundary is called a subduction zone.
What is an ocean to ocean plate boundary?
A tectonic boundary where two oceanic lithospheric plates are either moving away from one another and new crust is formed, or moving toward each other, in which the more dense oceanic plate will subduct beneath the less dense plate.
Which of the following factors is most important when determining the types of boundary that forms when two lithospheric plate collide?
Density of each plate
What is a oceanic boundary?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
How is tectonic movement producing the Himalayan mountain range?
A continental plate is colliding with another continental plate, causing upward motion. A lithospheric plate is colliding with another lithospheric plate of similar bouyancy, causing upward motion.
What is the process of the lithospheric plate descending under another?
Subduction.
What does a sliding boundary do?
It is where one plate slides past another plate, rubbing against it. One slides right, the other left. An example would be North America. Your Welcome.
Was the haiti earthquake on a conservative plate boundary?
Yes it is, due to the force of the plate sliding by each other.
