Subduction occurs, as one plate collides with another, the harder plate may force the other plate downwards and into the mantle. For example, when the Indian Plate collided with the Asian Plate, the harder Asian Plate forced the Indian into subduction. This forced the Asian Plate to be raised and the Himalayas were the result.

What type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move towards each other?
This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
What is the name of the boundary where two plates are moving toward one another?
Convergent boundary.
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.
What type of plate boundary occurs between the Nazca and South American Plate?
A convergent plate boundary occurs between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the formation of the Andes mountain range.
Is Pinatubo on the Philippine's on a convergent plate?
Yes, Mount Pinatubo is located in the Philippines, but it is not on a convergent plate boundary. It is actually located along the boundary of two tectonic plates, the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate, which are moving towards each other at a convergent boundary.
What fault generally occurs at a convergent boundary.?
reverse
What fault occurs at a convergent boundary.?
A reverse fault
Which type of boundary interactions does a dive into the mantle entail?
This occurs at a convergent plate boundary and is known as subduction.
What type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move towards each other?
This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
What are the types of convergent boundary?
There are 3 types of Convergent boundaries, they are; 1. Continental-continental convergent boundary. 2. Continental-oceanic convergent boundary. 3. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary.
What is the name of the boundary where two plates are moving toward one another?
Convergent boundary.
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.
What type of plate boundary occurs when plates come together?
Convergent boundary, which in this case would lead to mountain building (as in the Himalayas)
What type of plate boundary occurs between the Nazca and South American Plate?
A convergent plate boundary occurs between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the formation of the Andes mountain range.
A convergent boundary causes what stress type?
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.
Is Pinatubo on the Philippine's on a convergent plate?
Yes, Mount Pinatubo is located in the Philippines, but it is not on a convergent plate boundary. It is actually located along the boundary of two tectonic plates, the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate, which are moving towards each other at a convergent boundary.
Which type of boundary occurs off the Oregon Coast?
All three! Convergent, divergent, and transform.
