What does it mean when plates have subduction on each other?
When plates have subduction, it means that one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another plate. This process happens at convergent plate boundaries where two plates collide, and the denser plate sinks into the mantle. Subduction can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.
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.
When one tectonic plate slides on one another?
earthquake
What can form when one oceanic plate subducts under another oceanic plate?
Tectonic
When 1 plate is forced beneath another?
Subduction
What happens on the San Andreas?
a continental divide and plate techtonics as one plate moves shear to another.
What are facts about trenches?
A trench happens when one plate submerges under another.
Is a subduction zone a plate boundaries?
A subduction zone is where one plate is being subducted ( pulled down) under another plate, No it is not a plate boundary but it is were it happens. hope this helps
How does the movement of one plate under another plate create a subduction zone?
When one tectonic plate moves beneath another plate, it creates a subduction zone. This happens because the descending plate is denser and heavier, causing it to sink into the mantle beneath the overriding plate. This process leads to the formation of a deep trench and can trigger earthquakes and volcanic activity.

What happens when one tectonic plate slides against another?
An earthquake or tremmor may happen if the slide is strong enough.
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 happens when a tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plate?
This happens at a plate boundary. The oceanic plate subducts (sinks) under the continental plate, because it is heavier. (the oceanic plate is made of basalt and the continental plate is made of granite.) This happens at a destructive plate margin. it is called this because part if the oceanic plate is destroyed, because it melts as it sinks.

What happens to an oceanic plate as it pushes against another plate?
When an oceanic plate pushes against another plate, the denser oceanic plate is usually forced underneath the other plate in a process called subduction. This can create deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes along the boundary between the plates.
What is plate heat exchangers?
a plate heat exchanger is a metal plate which is will be in contact with another item eg air or another metal object to move heat from one to another
What is created where one plate move under another?
A volcano is most often formed whon one tectonic plate moves under another
