When one plate slides under another, volcano's develop. The colliding plates cause a rupture on the earth's surface, allowing hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.

What forms when one tectonic plate slides under another?
earthquake
At which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.
The movement of one tectonic plate under another tectonic plate?
The movement of one tectonic plate under another occurs at convergent boundaries. For example, at this boundary denser oceanic crust slides under the lighter continental crust.
What is the name of the type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plates?
A destructive plate boundary - a subduction zone.
What happens when a tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plate?
This happens at a plate boundary. The oceanic plate subducts (sinks) under the continental plate, because it is heavier. (the oceanic plate is made of basalt and the continental plate is made of granite.) This happens at a destructive plate margin. it is called this because part if the oceanic plate is destroyed, because it melts as it sinks.
What occurs when one plate slides under another plate?
Mountains and earth quakes.
What forms when one tectonic plate slides under another?
earthquake
At which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.
What happens to the sliding plate when it slides under another plate?
a trench is develop due to the sliding of the plates
What two plates formed mount Pinatubo?
Mt. Pinatubo is in a subduction zone. subduction is when one tectonic plate slides under another. In the Mt. Pinatubo area the Eurasian Plate slides under the Philippine Sea Plate at the Manila Trench.
If One seafloor plate slides under another seafloor plate and begins to melt back into magma the name of this process is?
Subduction
The movement of one tectonic plate under another tectonic plate?
The movement of one tectonic plate under another occurs at convergent boundaries. For example, at this boundary denser oceanic crust slides under the lighter continental crust.
How do tectonic plates converge?
Mountain building like the Himalayas. Or one plate slides under another.
What is the name of the type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plates?
A destructive plate boundary - a subduction zone.
How you call the movement of the plates and one plate slides under the other one?
The movement of the plates and one plate slides under the other one is called subduction.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonics plates?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates is a?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
