What forms where a oceanic plate begins to move down in a subduction zone?

Convergent Boundaries


What is the name of the process where ocean crust sinks back toward the mantle?

It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.


What forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate a rift valley an ocean basin an ocean ridge a subduction zone?

A subduction zone forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs, deep ocean trenches, and seismic activity.


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 boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?

It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).


Were does subduction take place?

Subduction takes place primarily at convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. This process occurs in areas such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, where oceanic plates are being subducted beneath continental plates, leading to volcanism and seismic activity.


What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?

subduction boundary!!!


What is the subduction zone called when a oceanic and continental plate converge?

The subduction zone formed when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge is called an oceanic-continental subduction zone. In this setting, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep oceanic trenches.


Differences between oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental subduction boundary?

In an oceanic-oceanic subduction boundary, one oceanic plate subducts beneath another oceanic plate. This process can result in volcanic island arcs being formed. In an oceanic-continental subduction boundary, an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate. This can lead to the formation of volcanic mountain ranges on the continental plate.
