What property of the plates determines which play is subducted at a convergent boundary?
Subduction is the movement of one tectonic plate under another. The property of the plates that determines which plate is subducted at convergent boundaries is density.
When 1 plate is forced beneath another?
Subduction
What happens when tectonic plates get subducted?
they will form a mountain
A trench forms when?
In geology a trench is formed where one tectonic plate is subducted or forced under another plate.
What happens when a piece of crust is subducted?
When a piece of crust is subducted, it is forced underneath another plate at a convergent boundary. This process can result in the crust melting and forming magma, leading to volcanic activity. Subduction zones are known for creating deep oceanic trenches and chains of volcanic islands.
When do magma plumes appear?
Magma plumes can form at hotspots in the Earth's mantle, where unusually hot and buoyant rock rises towards the surface, leading to volcanic activity. They can also form at subduction zones where a tectonic plate is being subducted beneath another, causing melting of the mantle wedge above the subducted plate.
What is another word for the word wedding?
Another word for wedding is Marriage. Another word is Matrimony
What factors might influence the descent angle of a subducted plate?
The composition and density of the subducted plate, as well as the angle of subduction and presence of any obstacles in the subduction zone, can influence the descent angle of a subducted plate. Water content in the subducted plate can also affect its descent angle due to changes in the plate's buoyancy. The surrounding mantle flow and temperature conditions can further influence the descent angle of the subducted plate.
What is another word for the word although?
Another word is but
What can happen when two oceanic plates converge and one is subducted into the mantle?
When two oceanic plates converge and one is subducted into the mantle, the subducted plate melts due to the high temperatures and pressure, forming magma. This magma can then rise to the surface, leading to volcanic activity. Additionally, the subducted plate can cause earthquakes as it descends into the mantle.
Is a subduction zone a plate boundaries?
A subduction zone is where one plate is being subducted ( pulled down) under another plate, No it is not a plate boundary but it is were it happens. hope this helps
How does a plate tectonic have to do with a volcano?
Volcanoes tend to form on the land above an area where one techtonic plate is subducted beneath another. The eastern edge of the Pacific plate is being subducted under the South American plate. The subducted plate melts under the extreme pressure and temperature. The molten rock then works its way up through stress fissures, caused by the two plates colliding, to form volcanoes in the area above the subduction zone. This is why there are volcanoes along the length of the Andes.
