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 is the name given to a region where one plate of the earths crust is sliding under another?
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.
What is the correct name for a decorative plate that sits under the serving plate on a dinner table?
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.
What is an area where one of the huge plates under the earths surface slides under or pulls away from the edge of another plate and magma rises to the surface of the earth?
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.
What happens when an oceanic plate digs into earths hot interior?
an volcano is formed
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.
Why do most volcanoes form at most 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.
Do mountains keep us alive?
No mountins do not keep us alive moutins are caused under the earths crust when 1 plate goess over the other plate
What are plates techonics?
plate tectonics are moving plates under the earths surface
What is it called when the earths plate go under the ocean and spread out?
it creates a tsunami
Do volcanoes form when one plate is pushed under another plate and melting rock erupts on earths surface?
yes
What does plate mean like in science?
they are under the earths surface and cause earth Quakes
What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.

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.
