Which convergent plate boundry does not include a subduction zone and why?

The plate boundary is continental - continental. This creates mountains and earthquakes, but one plate doesn't go under the other


What happens when plates move toward one another?

It's called a convergent plate boundary, and mountains can be formed (India crashing into Asia forming the Himalayas) or one plate can subduct (go under) the other plate, the overriding plate (goes over) causing trenches (Marianas trench) and can also cause hot spots making formations like Hawaii or the one under yellow stone national park.


When two plates collide what determines which plates comes out on top?

The more dense plate subducts (goes under) the less dense plate. For example if continental and oceanic crust collide oceanic crust will go underneath the continental.


When two plate move toward each other and one go under one what is the process?

The process is called subduction. It occurs when two tectonic plates collide and one plate is forced below the other into the mantle. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.


What happens when convergent plate movement occur?

A convergent boundary of two plates will push together. If it is two continental crusts, then they will both push upward, forming mountains. If it is a continental crust pushing against an oceanic crust, then the oceanic crust will go underneath, melt, and be recycled because the oceanic crust is less dense than the continental crust.

Why do mountains form when earths plates collide?

One plate tectonic, or fragment, is pushed underneath another plate which causes the other one to go nowhere else but up.


Does the metal plate go between the wire and screw on a replacement female cord?

No. The wire goes underneath the plate.


Why did the Italy earthquake happen?

The earth's crust (surface) is made up of platonic plates. When these plates move toward each other, one might go underneath the other and scrape against it. This gives out vibrations which can sometimes be so powerful that the can be classified as earthquakes.Italy is near a plate boundary (the edge of a plate, where another plate starts). Italy is on the Eurasian plate and it rubs against the African plate which caused the earthquake.

How can one go about finding a license plate check?

One can go about finding a license plate check by locating the local police department, and asking for a temporary access to the license plate database. Also one may do the same at the local vehicle registry building.


When an oceanic plate collides with the continental plate the oceanic plate is usually subduction because?

with all that water pushing down on the plate, one of the plates has to go under. the one that is sliding under the top plate is usually the one that goes under. <3 hope this helps:)
