The process by which a tectonic plate consisting of less heavy rock rides up over a heavier plate is known as?
The process by which a tectonic plate consisting of less heavy rock rides up over a heavier plate is known as subduction. The opposite of this process is called obduction.
The process by which a tectonic plate consisting of less heavy rock rides up over a heavier plate is known as what?
The downward movement of the more dense plate beneath the less dense plate in a convergent plate scenario is called subduction.Conversely, the over thrusting of one plate onto another is known as obduction.
What happens when continental and oceanic lithospheres collide?
When oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere collide, the continental lithosphere may be obducted over the oceanic lithosphere or the oceanic lithosphere may be subducted under the continental lithosphere. The latter is thought to be more common. This subduction and obduction generally results in tectonic activity such as volcanoes and earthquakes.

How do you determine if an animal dies naturally?
An autopsy, also known as a post-mortem examination, necropsy, or obduction, is a medical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse to determine the cause and manner of death and to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present.

What are the types of collisions that happen at convergent boundaries?
Subduction (where one plate is forced beneath another less dense plate - may occur at oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental boundaries), obduction (where oceanic plate is forced over a continental plate) and orogenesis where two continental plates collide and mountains are formed (e.g. the Himalayas).
