What else can I help you with?
What feature most likely results from a convergent boundary where one plate moves under another plate?
Subduction zone.
Which landform is likely to form where two oceanic plates push together?
A deep ocean trench is likely to form where two oceanic plates push together in a convergent boundary. This is because one of the plates subducts beneath the other, creating a deep trench.
Which of the convergent boundaries would most likely create a non-volcanic mountain range?
A collision boundary (also known as a continent-continent convergent boundary) would most likely create a non-volcanic mountain range. When two continental plates collide, the crust crumples and folds, leading to the formation of mountain ranges like the Himalayas. This process does not typically involve volcanic activity.
What kind of plate collision would most likely result in the formation of the most extensive mountain range?
A convergent plate collision involving two continental plates is most likely to result in the formation of the most extensive mountain range. This is because the thick and buoyant continental crust resists subduction, leading to intense compression, uplift, and folding that can create large mountain chains like the Himalayas.
What type of plate boundary could form a mountain chain of sedimentary rock?
A convergent plate boundary would likely form a mountain chain of sedimentary rock. As tectonic plates collide, one plate may be forced beneath the other, leading to the uplift of sedimentary layers and their subsequent compression and deformation, forming mountain ranges.
Where is a subductions zone most likely to form?
At a convergent boundary.
What type of rock would most likely be at a subduction zone convergent boundary?
Sea floor bassalt and sediments.
What feature most likely results from a convergent boundary where one plate moves under another plate?
Subduction zone.
Where is subduction most likely to occur?
Where an oceanic plate dives under a continental plate (e.g. just offshore the Washington/Oregon coast, creating a line of explosive volcanos just inland).
Where is most likely to occur?
At a convergent boundary.
What type of plate interaction is the most likely cause of the volcano?
The most likely cause of a volcano is a convergent plate boundary, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another in the process of subduction. This movement melts rock and generates magma, which can rise to the surface and erupt as a volcano.
What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
What is the effect of plate movement at a divergent boundary?
The effect of subduction at the boundary of two plates is the movement of one tectonic plate under another tectonic plate. This creates a subduction zone, which often occurs in convergent boundaries.
How did the earth quake in Haiti happen?
Most likely Because of either a convergent boundary or a transform boundary that caused this.
When are mountains most likely to form at a convergent boundary?
Mountains are most likely to form at a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide, with one plate being forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. The intense pressure and heat generated during this collision cause the crust to deform and uplift, leading to the formation of mountain ranges.
Which landform is likely to form where two oceanic plates push together?
A deep ocean trench is likely to form where two oceanic plates push together in a convergent boundary. This is because one of the plates subducts beneath the other, creating a deep trench.
Which type of plate boundary would be most likely to lead to above-ground activity?
convergent!
