Either a volcano or earthquake happens.You see..if a plate goes under one,magma begins to turn the plate into a volcano and it erupts.The weaker plate goes under.

SORRY FOR THE HORRIBLE DEMONSTRATION.HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.

Why do most form at plate boundaries?

This happens because the plates under the earths crust are always moving some times the plates crash into each other, this sometimes makes one plate sink under the other one and burning up, or pushing up.

What happens to the earths crust at a subbduction zone?

In a subduction zone, an oceanic plate moves under another plate (whether continental or oceanic). Sometimes pressure builds up, and earthquakes occur.

mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.


What happens when a tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plate?

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.


What happens at an oceanic- oceanic subduction?

The plate with cooler, denser crust sinks under the other plate, forming a trench. There, the oceanic crust sinks down back into the mantle.
