Which feature is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust?
A deep ocean trench is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust. The oceanic crust is denser and is forced beneath the lighter continental crust, creating a deep trench.
How big is the indo-australian plate?
No, it is not an oceanic plate. It is a continental plate but with oceanic crust. Crust is different from plate. A plate is made up of many crust. The crust under the ocean is oceanic crust, while the crust where continent is found is called continental crust. Most of the plates are made up off both continental and oceanic crust. If a plate has continental crusts, then it is a continental plate. Only if a plate is all made up of oceanic crusts, meaning that there is no land on it, then the plate is called oceanic plate. In the world, the major oceanic plates include Pacific Plate, Nazca Plate, Cocos Plate and Philippines Plate. Other are all continental plate.
How did the Pacific plate get its name?
The Pacific Plate got it name due it its location underneath the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Plate is the largest plate because consisting of 20 percent of earth's crust and contains Continental and ocean crust.
Is the African plate an oceanic or continental plate?
The African Plate is primarily a continental tectonic plate. It includes much of the African continent and extends into the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. While it contains oceanic crust along its western and eastern boundaries, the main portion of the plate consists of continental crust.
When does a plate carrying continental crust converges with a plate carrying oceanic crust?
When a plate carrying continental crust converges with a plate carrying oceanic crust, the denser oceanic plate is typically subducted beneath the less dense continental plate. This can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep ocean trenches.
When the ocean floor collides with a crustal plate what happens?
it subducts underneath the crustal plate
What happens when a plate carrying ocean crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust?
The contiental cdrust is forced under the continental crust in a process called subduction.
What type plate margin are ocean trenches associated with?
Convergent plate margins where oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust.

What structure is formed when ocean crust subducts below continental crust?
A deep ocean trench is formed when ocean crust subducts below continental crust. The descending oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle by the more buoyant continental plate. This process can also lead to the formation of volcanic arcs on the overriding plate.
Is the African plate an oceanic or continental plate?
The African Plate is primarily a continental tectonic plate. It includes much of the African continent and extends into the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. While it contains oceanic crust along its western and eastern boundaries, the main portion of the plate consists of continental crust.
Is the Antarctic plate oceanic?
No, the Antarctic Plate is a tectonic plate that is primarily continental in nature, as it mostly consists of continental crust beneath the ice sheet. It is surrounded by oceanic crust of the Southern Ocean.
When does a plate carrying continental crust converges with a plate carrying oceanic crust?
When a plate carrying continental crust converges with a plate carrying oceanic crust, the denser oceanic plate is typically subducted beneath the less dense continental plate. This can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep ocean trenches.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
