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.
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.
A subduction zone is the name given to a region where one plate of the earth's crust is sliding under another plate. This is a term found in plate tectonics.
The correct name for a decorative plate that sits under the serving plate on a dinner table is a charger plate. It is used to enhance the table setting and to provide an elegant base for the main serving plate.
This phenomenon is known as a subduction zone. It occurs when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, leading to the melting of the descending plate and the formation of magma. This magma can then rise to the surface as volcanic activity.
an volcano is formed
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.

In a subduction zone, an oceanic plate moves under another plate (whether continental or oceanic). Sometimes pressure builds up, and earthquakes occur.
No mountins do not keep us alive moutins are caused under the earths crust when 1 plate goess over the other plate
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
it creates a tsunami
yes
they are under the earths surface and cause earth Quakes
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.

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