What happens when one of the earth's plate goes under the other?
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.
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate the oceanic plate is usually subducted because?
with all that water pushing down on the plate, one of the plates has to go under. the one that is sliding under the top plate is usually the one that goes under. <3 hope this helps:)
What types of plate boundaries occur?
Basically subuctive (one side goes under the other) and sliding.
What is subvergent boundary?
A subduction zone is a type of plate boundary where the denser of the two tectonic plates travelling towards each other will 'slide', or subduct, beneath the other.
When two plates collide what determines which plate comes out on top?
The more dense plate subducts (goes under) the less dense plate. For example if continental and oceanic crust collide oceanic crust will go underneath the continental.
What does it mean when plates have subduction on each other?
one plate goes under another plate
When one tectonic plate pushes underneath another what boundary is formed?
well, there's two things. one, it's a convergent plate boundary, and two, it's called subduction when one plate goes under.
What happends when an oceanic plate goes under a continental plate?
When an oceanic plate goes under a continental plate, the subducting plate ---> oceanic creates a curved line of volcanoes along the edge of the overlying continental plate.
How does earths crust get recycled?
The crust is recycled by subduction which is.... a geological process in which one edge of a crustal plate is forced sideways and downward into the mantle below another plate
What is it called when the oceanic plate goes down to the mantle?
Subsidation. The process of one object or being overtaking or overpowering another.
What lanforms do you get when two plates subduct?
sub is a prefix that means to go under. therefore subduct means one plate goes under the edge of another. so it would probably be a valley.
When plate movements cause the crust to bend downward a what is formed?
When a plate is pushed under an adjacent plate, the process is called subduction. The subducted crust melts into the core and is recycled. When the plate goes into the mantel it is heated to very high temperatures and turns into metamorphic rock.

When does a plate carrying continental crust converges with a plate carrying oceanic crust?
The oceanic plates gets subducted or goes under the continental plate
What happens under the sea that a tsunami has to take place?
When two tectonic plates move. For example one goes under another to cause water to be pushed up and more the plate moves higher the tsunami is.
