What happens if an oceanic to oceanic happens?
When an oceanic to oceanic happens, two oceanic plates converge and one of the plates subducts into a trench. The subducted plate sinks down into the mantle and begins to melt. Molten rock from the plate rises toward the surface and forms a chain of volcanic islands, also called a volcanic island arc, behind the trench in the ocean.
What happens when two oceanic plates meet?
When two oceanic plates meet, one plate is usually forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity. Earthquakes can also occur along the boundary between the two plates.
True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
What forms when 2 oceanic plates move apart?
Some move away from each other and create massive trenches normally in the sea bed, for example the Mariana Trench - 10,998 m.
The type of collision that occurs when two lithospheric plates converge is determined primarily by plate?
The type of collision that occurs when two lithospheric plates converge is determined primarily by plate density. If both plates are of similar density, a continental-continental collision may occur, resulting in mountain-building and seismic activity. If one plate is denser than the other, a subduction zone may form where one plate is forced beneath the other, leading to volcanic activity and the formation of oceanic trenches.
What forms when plates converge?
mountains
What forms when two oceanic plates converge?
When two oceanic plates converge, one plate subducts beneath the other due to differences in density. This can create deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs as magma rises to the surface. Over time, this process can form new oceanic crust and island chains.
What happens if an oceanic to oceanic happens?
When an oceanic to oceanic happens, two oceanic plates converge and one of the plates subducts into a trench. The subducted plate sinks down into the mantle and begins to melt.

What forms when oceanic plates and continental plates form?
convergent boudary
What type of fault forms when plates converge?
a reverse fault is formedmountains
What is the structure that forms as tectonic plates move apart?
On continents it is called a Rift Valley or Graben. in the ocean it is call a Mid Oceanic Ridge.
When does a mid ocean ridge form?
It forms when the 2 plates converge or come apart
What forms when continental crust converge with oceanic crust?
Deep sea trenches, Mountain ranges, Volcanoes, and Earthquakes.
If two continental plates converge a subduction zone forms?
False! When two continental plates converge a mountain range is formed. This is what formed and is continuing to "build" the Himalayan mountain chain.Subduction zones form where oceanic crust converges with and is forced under continental crust, or younger more buoyant oceanic crust.
When two oceanic plates collide what physical feature forms?
Mountains and grass
How and why does an oceanic trench form?
The earth has plates and when the earth shirfts its plates it open a trench canyon like structure. sorry if my grammer is not perfect. An oceanic trench forms when a denser plate is subducted into the Earth at a convergent plate margin. Because the denser plate (always oceanic crust) is being bent and pulled down into the mantle, a trench forms at this subduction zone.
This type of boundary forms when two oceanic plates collide.?
convergent
