Which type of earth's crust is more dense?
butt
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 continental crust and oceanic crust collide what occurs?
This is referred to as a convergent plate boundary (oceanic-continental). The denser oceanic plate is forced underneath the lighter continental plate by a process called subduction.
What type of plate boundary is found below the Hawaiian Island chain?
I have a earth book, introduction to geology and there is a breakdown of all the continents and the corresponding plates. I believe it is the pacific plate according to my book.
How many plates are in earth that causes quakes?
All of the earth's tectonic plates have the potential to shift and cause an earthquake. However most of the time they only have the potential and some are more likely to shift than others.
What type of plate boundarys form?
Trenches are formed at convergent plate boundaries involving at least one oceanic plate, where the more dense plate subducts under the less dense plate.
Which type of earth's crust is more dense?
butt
What type of plate boundary to volcanoes not occur?
Ocean to ocean convergent plate boundaries do not have a chain of composite cone volcanoes. The ocean plate that is more dense will sink beneath the other ocean plate.
What is an earth plate?
An earth plate is a plate you equip to arceus to make its ground type moves.
Which type of water is more dense cold salty water or warm less salty water?
Water is more dense the colder it becomes. It is also more dense the saltier it becomes.
What type of structure has formed where the Jaun de Fuca plate is subducting beneath the North American plate?
The Nazca Plate and the South American Plate are colliding. Because oceanic plates like the Nazca are more dense than continental plates, they are forced below the continental plate and subduct, or flow downward into the mantle at varying degrees of descent from the area of collision!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What type of plate boundary is asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is not a plate boundary. It is the layer of Earth's mantle on which tectonic plates float.
What type of plate boundary is when one sinks beneath another?
A convergent plate boundary is where one of the plates is sinking beneath another, and the other one is being pushed on top of the subducting plate. This is called a subduction zone. This happens when denser, heavier oceanic crust meets less dense, thicker, continental crust.When two plates converge, and one is less dense, that plate goes under the more dense plate into the mantle, this is called subduction.subduction will happen and a volcano will be formed. when one plate slides beneath another one magma from earths mantle is being pushed up on earths surface.
What type of air is more dense?
The higher the pressure the denser the air.
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.
What do you do if you have Areus in Pokemon pearl?
When you get Arcreus, you can attach any plate [ie. earth plate, icicle plate, insect plate, sky plate, etc.] to it. Arcreus will then become a different type depending on the plate you attached to it. This is useful for battles.
When a more dense air mass meets a low dense air mass what type of cloud coverage will result?
A stratus cloud.
