When tectonic plates move on top of each other, it is called subduction. This process occurs when one plate is forced beneath another, often leading to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes. Subduction zones are typically associated with convergent plate boundaries.
What else can I help you with?
What is a plate called that slide past each other?
I believe that you are thinking of tectonic plates.
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
Where 2 plates moved apart from each other are called?
I'm guessing you're talking about the tectonic plates? Divergence.
What is it called when tectonic plates pass each other horizontlly?
It is called a transform boundary, where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This type of boundary can lead to earthquakes and the formation of fault lines. Examples include the San Andreas Fault in California.
What is the area where two tectonic plates called?
Plate boundaries.
What is it called when two tectonic plates pushes into each other?
Convergent Boundary
What are underground plates called?
Underground plates are called tectonic plates. These plates are large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, causing phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
When two tectonic plates push into each other the place the two plates meet is what?
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)

When two plates slip pass each other is called?
When two tectonic plates slide past each other, it is called transform boundary. This movement can create earthquakes along the boundary where the plates are in contact.
What is it called when tectonic plates pass each other horizontlly?
It is called a transform boundary, where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This type of boundary can lead to earthquakes and the formation of fault lines. Examples include the San Andreas Fault in California.
What is the name of the places were the tectonic plates meet?
The places where tectonic plates meet are called plate boundaries. There are three main types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries (plates moving towards each other), divergent boundaries (plates moving away from each other), and transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other).
Where do earthquakes form and where they are find?
Anywhere there are tectonic plates, and when two tectonic plates hit each other
What is the area where two tectonic plates called?
Plate boundaries.
What are the crust and lithosphere?
It consist of large sections called tectonic plates, which move relative to each other.
