What is the name of the process where ocean crust sinks back toward the mantle?

It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.


What type of plate collision does not result in subduction of one plate under the other?

A divergent boundary does not result in the subduction of one plate under the other.


Which boundaries are likely to result in volcanic island arcs?

Volcanic island arcs are likely to result from convergent boundaries where an oceanic plate subducts beneath another oceanic plate or a continental plate. The subducted plate can melt, causing magma to rise and form a series of volcanic islands above the subduction zone.


What plate collisions would most likely result in the formation of the most extensive mountain ranges?

The collision of tectonic plates with continental crust is most likely to result in the formation of extensive mountain ranges. This is because the thicker and less dense continental crust tends to crumple and fold when subjected to compression from plate movements, leading to the uplift of mountain ranges such as the Himalayas and the Alps.


Is St Helen volcano a result of a hot spot or subduction?

Mount St. Helens is a result of subduction as the Juan de Fuca Plate is pushed under the North American Plate.


What kind of plate boundary does MtFuji have?

Mt. Fuji is a result of subduction at a convergent plate margin.


What plates are causing colima volcano to form?

It is the result of the Cocos Plate subduction under the North American Plate.


What is the downward movement into the asthenosphere of a lithospheric plate?

The downward movement of a lithospheric plate into the asthenosphere is known as subduction. This process occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is forced beneath another due to differences in density. Subduction can result in the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic activity.


What plate collision would most likely happen in a subduction zone?

A subductive collision.


What feature most likely results from a convergent boundary where one plate moves under another plate?

Subduction zone.


What collides with plate boudaries?

At plate boundaries, tectonic plates collide with each other, leading to geological processes such as subduction, mountain formation, and seismic activity. The collisions can result in the formation of new landforms, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, shaping the Earth's surface over time.


What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?

subduction boundary!!!
