What is form when oceanic crust is pushed under continental crust?
When oceanic crust is pushed under continental crust in a subduction zone, a deep trench is formed at the boundary between the two plates. The oceanic crust then descends into the mantle, creating a convergent plate boundary. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs on the overriding continental plate.
When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity this type of boundary forms?
A subduction zone is formed when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate, resulting in volcanic activity. Oceanic crust is denser and sinks beneath the less dense continental crust, leading to the formation of volcanic arcs on the overriding plate.
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.
This type of boundary forms when the crust of one plate is being pushed down and turned into molten rock?
The type of boundary that forms when the crust of one plate is pushed down under another plate and turned into molten rock is referred to as a convergent boundary. Convergent boundaries form when oceanic crust slides beneath continental crust.
What happens at a convergent tectonic plate boundary?
An ocean trench forms Two tectonic plates push against each other. The denser/heavier plate is pushed down under the other plate which is in turn pushed up to create mountains.
When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate resulting in volcanic activity what type of boundary is formed?
Convergent Boundary (Subduction Zone)
What is form when oceanic crust is pushed under continental crust?
When oceanic crust is pushed under continental crust in a subduction zone, a deep trench is formed at the boundary between the two plates. The oceanic crust then descends into the mantle, creating a convergent plate boundary. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs on the overriding continental plate.

What type of boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate?
A convergent boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate. This process, known as subduction, can result in the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.

What are convertgent boundaries?
A conversion boundary is a place where 2 tectonic plates are mving toward each other. There are 3 types of convergent boundaries OCEANIC CRUST-OCEANIC CRUST OCEANIC CRUST-CONTINENTAL CRUST CONTINENTAL CRUST-CONTINENTAL CRUST They are classified according to their crust
What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?
subduction boundary!!!
What is at a convergent boundary where two continental plates are presently colliding?
Both Plates are pushed upwards and rocks are folded and faulted to form mountain ranges. For Example this occurred in Europe when the Eurasian and African plates collided to form the Alps. And a Subduction zone is formed when a continental and Oceanic plates collide as the oceanic plate is forced downwards into the mantle.
Want to continental plate in an oceanic plate Clyde the oceanic plate will be pushed down into the mental melted in a process called what?
Subduction
Where are the elder parts of the ocean floor located?
Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and (through the creation of new oceanic crust) is pushed toward a convergent plate boundary where it is subducted. So the oldest oceanic crust would be located at a convergent plate boundary where the oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust.
What type of fault is formed when pates are pushed together?
A divergent boundary.
