Subduction does not occur at this plate boundary because the tectonic plates involved are of similar densities, often leading to continental-continental convergence where neither plate is forced beneath the other. Instead, these plate interactions can result in the uplift of mountain ranges or the creation of large fault systems. Additionally, if the boundary is a transform fault, plates slide past one another horizontally, preventing subduction from taking place. Lastly, if both plates are oceanic, the younger, less dense plate may override the older one, leading to different geological outcomes rather than subduction.
What else can I help you with?
At what type of boundary did the 1960 Chilean earthquake occur?
At a convergent boundary between oceanic and continental crust where subduction is occurring.
What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?
subduction boundary!!!
What type tectonic plate boundary forms the Mariana trench?
A Transform Fault ZoneIn the textbook Earth Science and the Environment (4th Edition) by Thompson and Turk. Located on page 163, it shows that Tonga has a Convergent Boundary. A convergent boundary is where two lithospheic plates collide head on.
What is the plate boundary for unzen?
The plate boundary for Unzen volcano is the subduction zone where the Philippine Sea Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction zone is part of the larger convergent boundary between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
What boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?
It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).

What plate boundary is reclus volcano located on?
I think the plate boundary is in the subduction zone.
Why are there few volcanoes in the Himalaya?
There is no subduction occurring.

Is a subduction zone a type of convergent boundary?
Yes, a subduction zone is a type of convergent boundary where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate.
What kind of plate boundary is the North American Plate and the Caribbean plate?
It is a subduction zone.
Which boundary does subduction stop occurring in a mountain range?
Subduction typically stops occurring in a mountain range when the subducting plate ceases to sink beneath the overriding plate, resulting in the collision of the two plates. This collision can lead to the formation of a mountain range through tectonic processes like compression, uplift, and folding.
At which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.
Which boundary will you find a trench in the sea floor?
A destructive plate boundary (WITH a subduction zone!)
