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.
The type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another is called a convergent boundary. This process is known as subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other due to differences in density.
When one tectonic plate slides under another, a subduction zone is formed. This process creates deep ocean trenches and can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and earthquakes. The sinking plate eventually melts into the mantle, contributing to the recycling of Earth's crust.
The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.
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.
This process is known as subduction.
Mountains and earth quakes.
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.

Mountain building like the Himalayas. Or one plate slides under another.

When a sliding plate slides under another plate, it usually causes the plates to buckle due to the pressure and force applied. This can lead to deformation or bending of the plates as they interact with each other. If the force is strong enough, it may also lead to one of the plates getting lifted or displaced.
When one plate slides beneath another it is said to subduct. This is called a subduction zone. However, a continental plate cannot subduct, only an oceanic plate can. When two continental plates collide the land between them is squeezed horizontally, forming mountain ranges. Eventually the continental land masses will fuse together.
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
