What else can I help you with?
What may happen to the leading edge of plate as it continues to move downward?
The edge of the plate will heat up and become part of the molten mantle.
What do you think may happen to leading edge of plate a as it continues to downward?
As the leading edge in forced down it is heated up and becomes part of the molten magma below.
What is the downward movement into the asthenosphere of a lithospheric plate?
The downward movement of a lithospheric plate into the asthenosphere is known as subduction. This process occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is forced beneath another due to differences in density. Subduction can result in the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic activity.
How can you show subduction?
with a cross-section photo of the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate
What geologic features might form in the surface if one plate goes upward and the other is downward?
Volcanoes are common on this type of plate boundary

What do you think may happen to leading edge of plate a as it continues to downward?
As the leading edge in forced down it is heated up and becomes part of the molten magma below.
What do you think may happen to the leading edge of oceanic plate as if continues to move downward?
As the leading edge of an oceanic plate continues to move downward into the mantle at a subduction zone, it will experience increased pressure and temperature. This can lead to the release of water and other volatiles, causing melting in the overlying mantle and potentially generating magma. Over time, this process can contribute to volcanic activity and the formation of volcanic arcs. Additionally, the descending plate may also undergo metamorphism and contribute to complex geological formations.
May happen to the leading edge of plate as it continues to move donwnard?
The leading edge of a plate can subduct beneath another plate or slide past it along a transform boundary as it continues to move downward. This process can generate earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges at convergent boundaries, while at transform boundaries, it can create fault lines and seismic activity.
Does Allegheny Ludlum make continuous mill plate steel?
Allegheny Ludlum makes continuous mill plate steel
Does the subducting plate appear to be continuous or discontinuous?
It appears to be continuous because it is a cycle. Old plate is subducted, but new plates are formed.
What is the downward movement into the asthenosphere of a lithospheric plate?
The downward movement of a lithospheric plate into the asthenosphere is known as subduction. This process occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is forced beneath another due to differences in density. Subduction can result in the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic activity.
How are mountains formed by plate movements?
A tetonic plate can ram into another plate and shift downward underneath the other plate. This causes a subduction zone and moutains, for example the Himalayas or the Andes
What type of plate boundary is caused by a downward convection current in the mantel?
A convergent plate boundary is caused by a downward convection current in the mantle. At these boundaries, tectonic plates move towards each other, resulting in subduction zones or collision zones, where one plate is forced beneath the other.
When plate movements cause the crust to bend downward what is formed?
Metamorphic rock i think?
What geologic features might form in the surface if one plate goes upward and the other is downward?
Volcanoes are common on this type of plate boundary
