What else can I help you with?
Means the ocean floor is pulled under the continent?
This occurs in a subduction zone.
Which ocean floor feature is found near almost every subduction zone around the world?
Trench
What forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate a. an ocean basin b. an ocean ridge c. a subduction zone d. a rift valley?
C. subduction zone
What are the deepest part of the ocean floor?
The deepest parts of the ocean floor are caused by plate tectonic subduction and occur where the sea floor sinks back into the mantle in a subduction zone. These areas are called deep sea trenches and the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific is the deepest known point in Earth's oceans.
What is the difference between a mid oceanic ridge and a subduction zone?
A subduction zone occurs at convergent plate margins where an oceanic plate is going underneath a continental plate or a less dense oceanic plate. A mid-ocean ridge is a divergent plate boundary on the ocean floor with a mountain range and a rift running through the center of it. Sea floor spreading also occurs at mid ocean ridges.
What happens after magma erupts along mid ocean?
The magma spills over the ridge and pushes the old sea floor away toward a subduction zone where the old sea floor melts.
What is the Most anaerobic zone in the ocean?
The ocean floor is the most anaerobic zone in the ocean.
What zone appears when an ocean pate sinks beneath a continental plate?
This is called the subduction zone.
Area where an ocean plate descends into the upper mantle?
Subduction Zone
What forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate a rift valley an ocean basin an ocean ridge a subduction zone?
A subduction zone forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs, deep ocean trenches, and seismic activity.
Which boundary will you find a trench in the sea floor?
A destructive plate boundary (WITH a subduction zone!)
What are the deepest places on the surface of the earth located at subduction zone?
The Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean is the deepest place on Earth, reaching a depth of about 36,070 feet. The trench is formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Mariana Plate. This process creates a deep trench in the ocean floor.
