What is the type of plate boundary where two plates move together causig one of the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath an overriding plate?
This type of plate boundary is called a convergent boundary or subduction zone. It occurs when two tectonic plates collide, with the denser oceanic plate being forced beneath the less dense continental plate. This process can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs on the overriding plate.
What boundary type is Mount Merapi?
Mount Merapi is a convergent boundary type, specifically a subduction zone where the Indo-Australian Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction has led to the explosive volcanic activity and frequent eruptions characteristic of Mount Merapi.
What type of plate boundary is the peru-chili trench?
The Peru-Chile Trench is a convergent plate boundary, where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate. This subduction zone is associated with frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity this type of boundary forms what?
This type of boundary is called a convergent boundary or subduction zone, where the oceanic plate is pushed beneath the continental plate. The descending oceanic plate melts due to the heat and pressure, leading to volcanic activity and the formation of volcanic arcs.
What type of fault generally occurs at a convergent boundary?
A reverse fault generally occurs at a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide and one is forced over the other, causing compression and uplift of the Earth's crust.
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
what happens to a convergent boundary?
a subduction zone forms
What type of plate boundary created Soufrierre Montserrat?
Soufriere Hills forlmed along a subduction zone, a type of convergent plate boundary.
What is a suduction zone?
A subduction zone is a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide.
Where is a subductions zone most likely to form?
At a convergent boundary.
What is created at a convergent boundary?
It is a subduction zone and can create earthquakes and volcanoes
Which convergent plate boundary does not include a subduction zone?
I’m not sure
What is the plate boundary for unzen?
The plate boundary for Unzen volcano is the subduction zone where the Philippine Sea Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction zone is part of the larger convergent boundary between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
Is Krakatoa a divergent convergent or transform boundary?
Krakatoa is located at a convergent boundary, where the Indo-Australian Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction zone can lead to intense volcanic activity due to the melting and rising of magma from the subducted plate.
What type of plate margin was the Japanese earthquake?
it is on a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone
What type of rock would most likely be at a subduction zone convergent boundary?
Sea floor bassalt and sediments.
When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity what type of boundary is formed?
Convergent Boundary (Subduction Zone)
