Why does oceanic plate always slide under a continental plate what they collide?
Oceanic plates are denser and thinner than continental plates, which allows them to subduct or slide beneath the continental plates during a collision. This subduction occurs because the denser oceanic crust is forced down into the mantle, leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs. Additionally, the buoyancy of the thicker continental crust prevents it from being subducted in the same way.
Why does one continental plate slide under the other?
Because magma rises through hot spots( holes in the ground on the ocean floor) and cools forming new crust which repeats over hundreds of years making the oceanic crust more dense than continental crust. Since the oceanic crust is more dense, it sinks faster causing it to slide under the continental crust
What types of mountains form when oceanic plates collide and slide under continental plates?
When oceanic plates collide and slide under continental plates, they can form volcanic mountain ranges called continental volcanic arcs. These arcs result from the melting of the descending oceanic plate, which then feeds magma to the Earth's surface. Examples include the Andes in South America and the Cascades in North America.
Is fracture zone part of continental margin?
Yes, fracture zones can be found on the ocean floor near continental margins. They are areas of intense tectonic activity where tectonic plates slide past each other, creating fractures in the Earth's crust. These zones are often associated with transform plate boundaries.
Can a continental and oceanic plate have a transform boundary?
Yes, a continental and oceanic plate can have a transform boundary. This occurs when the two plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes along the boundary. The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of a transform boundary between the North American Plate (continental) and Pacific Plate (oceanic).
Continental drift?
WHEN CONTINENTS DO THE CHA CHA SLIDE 😮💨💪🏻💪🏻
These are formed when oceanic plates slide under continental plates?
Subduction zones are formed when oceanic plates slide beneath continental plates. The process leads to the oceanic plate being forced into the Earth's mantle. This can result in the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic activity at the surface.
Why does one continental plate slide under the other?
Because magma rises through hot spots( holes in the ground on the ocean floor) and cools forming new crust which repeats over hundreds of years making the oceanic crust more dense than continental crust. Since the oceanic crust is more dense, it sinks faster causing it to slide under the continental crust
Where is the CD changer on a 2000 Lincoln Continental?
In your center counsole, open it up and there is a black rectangle slide, slide that back and there it is, push the eject button and out pops your 6 disc CD changer.

What is the difference between continentalcrust and the oceanic?
Continental crust is thicker and less dense while oceanic crust is thinner and more dense, so essentially continental crust takes a higher position than oceanic crust. When oceanic and continental plates collide, oceanic plates slide underneath continental plates(if this makes what I said any clearer).
What layer are the continents sliding down?
The continents are located on Continental plates, which "float" and "slide" along the Asthenosphere, which is the "gooey" upper mantle and lower part of the crust.
What happens when two continental plates slide past each other?
When two continental plates slide past each other, they create transform boundaries. Friction between the plates may cause earthquakes along the boundary. Over time, the movement can result in the build-up of stress that is released suddenly in the form of an earthquake.

What means the ocean is pulled under the continent?
The ocean is never pulled under the continent. Oceanic crust--the rock and some sediments, however, slide under the edges of continental crust and are pushed downward toward the mantle in areas of oceanic to continental plate collisions.
Is fracture zone part of continental margin?
Yes, fracture zones can be found on the ocean floor near continental margins. They are areas of intense tectonic activity where tectonic plates slide past each other, creating fractures in the Earth's crust. These zones are often associated with transform plate boundaries.
THEORY OF PLATE TECHTONIC?
When the Continental Drift Theory applies; when two plates either collide, smash, or slide to move plate techtonics.
