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 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 are the key differences between a divergent boundary and a convergent boundary in plate tectonics?

A divergent boundary is where tectonic plates move away from each other, creating new crust. A convergent boundary is where plates collide, leading to the formation of mountains or subduction zones.


What is a region where a plate descends?

A region where a plate descends is called a subduction zone. In this type of plate boundary, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another due to differences in density. Subduction zones are commonly associated with volcanic activity and earthquakes.


What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?

Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?

A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.


What is formed at each type of boundary?

subduction


What type of boundary can create a trench?

Is a subduction zone a type of convergent boundary?

Yes, a subduction zone is a type of convergent boundary where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate.


What plate boundary is reclus volcano located on?

I think the plate boundary is in the subduction zone.


Which boundary will you find a trench in the sea floor?

A destructive plate boundary (WITH a subduction zone!)


What boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?

It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).
