When two oceanic plates meet at a convergent boundary which plate pushes below the other plate?
At a convergent boundary where two oceanic plates meet, the denser plate will typically subduct below the less dense plate. The denser plate is usually the older, cooler, and more compacted of the two plates.
What happens if an oceanic to oceanic happens?
When an oceanic to oceanic happens, two oceanic plates converge and one of the plates subducts into a trench. The subducted plate sinks down into the mantle and begins to melt. Molten rock from the plate rises toward the surface and forms a chain of volcanic islands, also called a volcanic island arc, behind the trench in the ocean.
What happens when two plates carrying oceanic crusts meet at a trench?
When two plates carrying oceanic crusts meet at a trench, one plate typically subducts beneath the other due to its higher density. This process can generate volcanic activity, earthquakes, and the formation of deep-sea trenches and volcanic island arcs.
Is oceanic oceanic convergence?
oceanic convergence is when two oceanic plates subduct beneath one another.
Name two types of tectonic plates?
Oceanic plates are denser and thinner, found beneath the oceans, while continental plates are thicker and less dense, making up the Earth's landmasses. These two types of tectonic plates interact at boundaries, influencing processes like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What is 2 collision of 2 oceanic plates?
an earth quake happens when two plates meet
When two oceanic plates meet at a convergent boundary which plate pushes below the other plate?
At a convergent boundary where two oceanic plates meet, the denser plate will typically subduct below the less dense plate. The denser plate is usually the older, cooler, and more compacted of the two plates.
When two geologic plates are moving away from each other what happens?
When it is two continental plates, new oceanic crust is formed, and when this continues, more oceanic crust is formed between the plates.
What types of mountains form at convergent boundaries where two oceanic plates meet?
volcanic mountains
What happens if an oceanic to oceanic happens?

Where two plates meet , this is called a?
Places, where plates meet, are called plate boundaries. There are seven significant plates along with countless minor plates. You can see that a plate can be made of both oceanic crust and continental crust. Interactions between the plates change our planet.
Do subduction take place when two oceanic crust meet?
No subduction doesn't take place when two oceanic crust meet. When two oceanic crusts meet, it is called a divergent boundary. Crustal features vary such as one like mid-ocean rdges. Subducting takes place when an OCEANIC and CONTINENTAL plate meet not when two oceanic plates meet.
What happens when an oceanic crust colides with another oceanic crust?
The younger of the two plates, because it is less dense,* will ride over the edge of the older plate.
What is the result when continental plates meet oceanic plates?
If the plates are moving toward each other, the more dense oceanic plate will subduct underneath the less dense continental plate. Mountain ranges and volcanism may result as the water saturated subducting oceanic crust creates molten rock which attempts to rise to the surface.
What are the two types of plates?
The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic.
Is oceanic oceanic convergence?
oceanic convergence is when two oceanic plates subduct beneath one another.
