When 1 plate is forced beneath another?
Subduction
What is formed when one plate is forced under another?
mid ocean ridge
What is it called when 1 plate is forced under another in to the mantle?
Subduction is the process where one tectonic plate is forced below another plate into the mantle. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity.
Which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
A convergent plate boundary involves one lithospheric plate sliding under another, leading to subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath the other. This process is associated with the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
What s created when one plate moves under another a mantle or a trench?
When one tectonic plate moves under another, a trench is created. This process, known as subduction, occurs at convergent plate boundaries where an oceanic plate is forced beneath a continental or another oceanic plate. The subduction zone forms a deep oceanic trench, which is often associated with geological activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The mantle beneath the plates may also be affected, but the direct result of this interaction at the surface is the formation of a trench.
A trench forms when?
In geology a trench is formed where one tectonic plate is subducted or forced under another plate.
Formed when one crustal plate is forced under another?
trenches
When does a part of oceanic plate sink into the mantle?
Usually when it meets another tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary. If the oceanic plate converges with a continental plate the denser oceanic plate will be forced under the continental plate. If it converges with another oceanic plate the older (and therefore cooler and denser) plate will be forced under the younger plate.

What is it called when 1 plate is forced under another in to the mantle?
Subduction is the process where one tectonic plate is forced below another plate into the mantle. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity.
What is the area called when one plate is forced under another plate?
The area is called a subduction zone, where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another plate. This process can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity.
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.
How do volcnaoes explode?
when a plate under ground is forced under another plate rock near it melts and becomes magma, it oozes out of cracks in mountains where it becomes lava. the mountains are then called volcanoes.

What does the phrase 'the less buoyant plate is subducted' mean?
This means that the cooler, heavier oceanic plate at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary is forced into the mantle - under the hotter, lighter oceanic plate. OR At oceanic to continental boundary the heavier oceanic plate is forced into the mantle under the lighter continental plate.
