This process is known as subduction.
The type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another is called a convergent boundary. This process is known as subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other due to differences in density.
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.
The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.
subduction boundary!!!
When one tectonic plate slides under another, a subduction zone is formed. This process creates deep ocean trenches and can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and earthquakes. The sinking plate eventually melts into the mantle, contributing to the recycling of Earth's crust.
collision
I believe it is destoryed along a convergent plate boundry where one plate slides underneath another.
it has transform boundary
When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, it forms a volcano. The oceanic plate subducts underneath the continental plate. As the oceanic plate slides underneath, a magma chamber is formed. This magma chamber is what feeds the volcano.

Where a tectonic plate slides past another.

When one plate slides beneath another it is said to subduct. This is called a subduction zone. However, a continental plate cannot subduct, only an oceanic plate can. When two continental plates collide the land between them is squeezed horizontally, forming mountain ranges. Eventually the continental land masses will fuse together.
It is where one plate slides past another plate, rubbing against it. One slides right, the other left. An example would be North America. Your Welcome.
