What is the name of the boundary where two plates are moving toward one another?
Convergent boundary.
What type of boundary below occurs where two plates move together causing one plate to descend into the mantle beneath the other plate?
A subduction boundary occurs where two plates move together, with one plate being forced beneath the other into the mantle. This process can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
What type of plate boundary occurs when two plates move towards each other?
This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
At which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.
What type of plate movement occurs at a transform plate boundary?
At a transform plate boundary, plates slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions without creating or destroying lithosphere. This movement is characterized by lateral shearing, where the plates grind against each other, causing earthquakes.
What type of plate movement occurs when two oceanic plates pull apart?
Diverging Plate Boundary
What type of plate boundary exists?
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
What type of plate boundary does shearing occur?
Shearing occurs at transform plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can result in earthquakes due to the friction between the plates. An example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
What type of plate boundaries exist today?
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
What is the name of the boundary where two plates are moving toward one another?
Convergent boundary.
When does subduction occur?
Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate moves underneath another plate at a convergent boundary. This typically happens at deep ocean trenches where the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate. Subduction is a key process in the cycle of plate tectonics, leading to the formation of volcanic arcs and earthquakes.
What type of boundary occurs where two plates move together causing one plate to descend into the mantle of the other plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.
What type of plate boundary occurs when plates come together?
Convergent boundary, which in this case would lead to mountain building (as in the Himalayas)
Which plate boundary destroys crust?
Crust is destroyed at the convergent plate boundary. This is usually between the oceanic and continental plates. This is where subduction of the more dense crust occurs.
What type of boundary occurs where two plates moves together causing one plate to descend into the mantle beneath the other plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.
What type of boundary occurs where two plates move together cause one plate to descend into the mantle beneath the other plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.
What type of boundary occurs where two plates move together cause the one plate to descend into the mantle beneath the other plate?
Convergent BoundaryA destructive plate boundary with a subduction zone.
