What type of plate collision does not result in subduction of one plate under the other?

A divergent boundary does not result in the subduction of one plate under the other.


What type of plate boundaries exist today?

divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.


How you call the movement of the plates and one plate slides under the other one?

This movement is called subduction, which occurs when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate. This process commonly happens at convergent plate boundaries, where the plates collide and one plate is pushed downward into the Earth's mantle. Subduction zones are known for producing powerful earthquakes and volcanic activities.


What is the major type of stress at convergent plate boundaries?

Subduction, is when one plate is pushed down into the magma, by the other plate sliding over the top.


At what type of boundaries do subduction zones form?

In plate tectonics, when two tectonic plates move toward each other, it results in the formation of what is called a convergent plate boundary. The two plates are said to converge. One plate may be more dense than the other, and with the two plates pushing against each other, the plate that is more dense will "slide under" the other plate. The plate sliding under is said to subduct the other plate, and this creates what is called a subduction zone. Not all convergent plate boundaries have subduction zones, but all subduction zones are formed at convergent plate boundaries.

How do plate movements form oceans trenches?

As plates move toward each other, one plate sinks under the other plate.


How do plate move a convergent boundary?

A convergent boundary is one where two plates are grinding into each other, so the plates are moving toward each other. If one plate more dense than the other, (say a continent and an oceanic plate collide) then the denser plate (the oceanic plate) may be subducted. If two plates of similar or the same density collide, then neither plate will subduct, and crustal thickening may occur. This is the process which formed the Himalayas, resulting from the pressure of two continental plates, the Indian and the Asian.

What do you do if a plate is given to you dirty?

If it is in a restaurant, take it to the counter and say politely that your plate is dirty. If it is at home, inform someone, or wash it and get a new one.

What kind of boundary separates the Eurasian plate plate from the Pacific plate?

a subduction boundry, this is where one plate gets pushed under the other. in this case the pacific plate is being pushed under the eurasion!
