The Pacific Plate is the largest tectonic plate and is covered entirely by the Pacific Ocean.
What else can I help you with?
What tectonic plates are under etna?
Its under the South American Plate
What can form when one oceanic plate subducts under another oceanic plate?
Tectonic
How many tectonic plates are under the Pacific Ocean?
one plate, the pacific plate
When are island arc volcanoes formed?
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
What are the names of the tectonic plates involved in Japan's 2011 earthquake?
The tectonic plates involved in Japan's 2011 earthquake were the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The earthquake resulted from the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate along the Japan Trench.
What kind of tectonic plate is the eurasian plate?
The tectonic plate under parts of Europe and Asia is a continental crustal plate.
Which tectonic plate does Tokyo come under?
The North American plate.
What tectonic plates are under etna?
Its under the South American Plate
Do seafloor plates collide?
Technically, yes. At convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate will subduct, or sink, under a continental plate and melt back into the mantle. An example of this is the Juan De Fuca plate, which has almost been entirely subducted under the North American Plate.
Does subduction happen at a plate boundary?
Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate.

What are movements of the earth crust and mantle called?
this is called tectonic plates moving, this causes earthquakes and if under water it's called a psunami
What cities are on plate boundaries?
Japan is under three tectonic plates
What is the name of the type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plates?
The type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another is called a convergent boundary. This process is known as subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other due to differences in density.
