This is called a "triple junction" and may include transform faults, ridges, or trenches.
Subduction is not as straightforward as where just two plates meet. although a pair may move in the same direction relative to the third plate.

What are name of the three sub-classes of tectonic plates?
constructive, destructive and conservative
What is it called when two plates hit each other?
When two tectonic plates meet, we get a "plateboundary." There are three major types of plate boundaries. If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the convergingplateswill move beneath the other, which is known as subduction.
What kind of rock are the tectonic plates composed of?
Mainly:Continental Plates-GraniteOceanic Plates-Basalt
Name three natural disasters caused by tectonic plates?
the three types of disasters tectonic plate movements cause are; Conservative- when the plates slid past each other and cause an earthquake. destructive- when two plates bash into each-other and cause either and earthquake or and volcano to erupt. constructive- when two plates move away from each other and construct new crust. well, hope you liked my answer, and by the way, kids are smart cause I'm only 12 !!
What does plate boundary mean?
Earth's crust is broken up into segments called tectonic plates, which move very slowly. A plate boundary is where two of these plates meet. There are three basic types: convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
