earthquake
The type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another is called a convergent boundary. This process is known as subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other due to differences in density.
When one tectonic plate slides past another, it can create a transform boundary. At this boundary, the plates grind against each other, causing earthquakes. The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known example of a transform boundary.
This happens at a plate boundary. The oceanic plate subducts (sinks) under the continental plate, because it is heavier. (the oceanic plate is made of basalt and the continental plate is made of granite.) This happens at a destructive plate margin. it is called this because part if the oceanic plate is destroyed, because it melts as it sinks.
An ocean trench forms when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another in a process called subduction. This creates a deep, elongated depression in the ocean floor where the subducted plate descends into the Earth's mantle. Ocean trenches are often associated with volcanic activity and earthquakes due to the tectonic forces at work.
The movement you are describing is known as subduction, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate. This occurs at convergent plate boundaries, and is associated with the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes. Subduction zones are important in the recycling of Earth's lithosphere and play a key role in shaping the Earth's surface features.
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.

Mountain building like the Himalayas. Or one plate slides under another.

An earthquake or tremmor may happen if the slide is strong enough.
In geology a trench is formed where one tectonic plate is subducted or forced under another plate.
Yes, the Indian plates do have trench forms. Another name for the Indian plate is the India plate. It is a tectonic plate that was originally part of ancient Gondwana.
Mt. Pinatubo is in a subduction zone. subduction is when one tectonic plate slides under another. In the Mt. Pinatubo area the Eurasian Plate slides under the Philippine Sea Plate at the Manila Trench.
