Subduction. denser oceanic plate moves under the continental plate. The oceanic plate is submerged into the mantle causing magma to rise to the surface.
The oceanic crust will slide under the continental crust. And the reason is because the oceanic crust is much denser and the continental crust is least dense.
Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust. All that water weight compresses the heck out of the material in the plate and also the oceanic crust contains larger percentages of denser elements such as magnesium and iron than the continental crust which also contributes to it's higher density. This sets the conditions for what happens. The more dense oceanic crust will "dive under" continental crust because it is more dense, and all because of the difference in densities.
Dense oceanic crust slides under less dense continental crust
A destructive margin is when the oceanic crust moves towards the continental crust and slip under it (oceanic crust is heavier than the continental crust). This can build up a lot of pressure between the plates.
Continental crust.
The correct answers are - B. Where oceanic crust meets continental crust, and C. Earthquakes.Subduction zones appear only on places where a crust of lower density (oceanic crust) meets a crust of higher density (continental crust).On the places where the oceanic crust meets the continental crust, the oceanic crust goes beneath the continental crust, this makes changes and readjustments in the inner part of the crust, and plus there's significant pressure from the mantle layer from beneath, so earthquakes are a very common occurrence.Check all that apply. A. Broad river deltas B. Where oceanic crust meets continental crust C. Earthquakes D. Two continents collide
Subduction. denser oceanic plate moves under the continental plate. The oceanic plate is submerged into the mantle causing magma to rise to the surface.
Where oceanic crust meets continental crust and earthquakes can occur.
The oceanic crust will slide under the continental crust. And the reason is because the oceanic crust is much denser and the continental crust is least dense.
Trench
the oceanic crust slides down and burns in the mantle and forms a volcano
the older crust is subducted and later pushed up to form oceanic arcs
when the crust increase the sea leavels beacem higher
It turns into magma
The mantle rock descending from the oceanic crust causes the water in oceanic crust to be released. This lowers the melting point of the rock and causes it to melt.
since the oceanic crus is thinner than the Continental crust the oceanic crust get submerged and gets destroyed while the continental crust covers the submerged part as being taken over by continental crust....//\@Rtz Z@r...
This depends on what material (oceanic crust or continental crust) the leading edges are made of. When Continental crust hits Continental crust (eg India ploughing into Asia) the crust thickens by thrusting and folding and a mountain belt forms (the Himalayas). There is little or no volcanic activity associated with this sort of collision. When Oceanic crust meets Continental crust (eg the Pacific plate and the west coast of South America), the oceanic crust sinks below the continental crust forming an oceanic trench on the oceanic side (a subduction zone) and a mountain belt on the continental side (by folding and uplift). This sort of collision produces a large amount of volcanic activity. When Oceanic Crust meets Oceanic Crust, the actively spreading side sinks below the stationary side to form a back arc basin associated with island arcs and subduction zones (eg the Caribbean or the east of Papua New Guinea). This sort of collision also involves a large amount of volcanic activity.
