The tectonic plate that moves upward is typically referred to as an "overriding plate," while the one that moves downward is known as a "subducting plate." In subduction zones, the denser oceanic plate usually subducts beneath the less dense continental plate. This process is a key driver of geological activity, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
