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.
Yes, a subduction zone is a type of convergent boundary where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate.
The Mariana Trench is a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding and one plate is forced beneath the other.
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.
Yes, the mantle can be seen at a plate boundary where tectonic plates interact, such as at divergent or convergent boundaries.
The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.
A convergent plate boundary is a place where tectonic plates are moving together. The plates are sliding across the the plastic asthenosphere.
Yes, a subduction zone is a type of convergent boundary where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate.
The Mariana Trench is a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding and one plate is forced beneath the other.
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.
No, Nyiragongo is not located on a convergent plate boundary. It is situated within the East African Rift system, which is associated with a divergent plate boundary where the African Plate is splitting into two tectonic plates.
Yes, the mantle can be seen at a plate boundary where tectonic plates interact, such as at divergent or convergent boundaries.
Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate.
A convergent boundary forms from the collision of two tectonic plates. In this type of boundary, one plate is typically forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This collision can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.
The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.
Yes, Mount Katmai is located in Alaska, which is on the boundary where the Pacific tectonic plate is converging with the North American plate. This tectonic activity has contributed to the formation of the volcanic arc that includes Mount Katmai.
Yes, subducting plate boundaries are a type of convergent plate boundary where one tectonic plate moves under another plate. Convergent plate boundaries, in general, are locations where two tectonic plates move towards each other. Subduction is a specific mechanism of convergence.
An area where two tectonic plates collide is called a boundary. There are three kinds of boundaries. They are convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries.
