This process is known as subduction.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plates?
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.
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.
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 is it called when one plate is pushed another plate as they collide?
subduction boundary!!!
What forms when one tectonic plate slides under another?
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.
What is a plate called when it slides over another plate?
collision
How and where material is destroyed in the earth's crust?
I believe it is destoryed along a convergent plate boundry where one plate slides underneath another.
What happens when a plate slides against another plate?
it has transform boundary
How is the lava formed insind a volcano?
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.
What occurs when one plate slides under another plate?
Mountains and earth quakes.

Where does a earthquake start?
Where a tectonic plate slides past another.
When one tectonic plate slides on one another?
earthquake

What feature marks the location where one tectonic plate is pushed underneath another plate?
The feature that marks the location where one tectonic plate is pushed underneath another plate is called a subduction zone. In these zones, the denser oceanic plate is typically forced down into the mantle beneath a lighter continental plate or another oceanic plate. This process can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and is often associated with volcanic activity and earthquakes.
When one continental plate slides under another this is formed?
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.
