What happends when an oceanic plate goes under a continental plate?
When an oceanic plate goes under a continental plate in a process called subduction, the oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle due to its higher density. This creates a subduction zone where the oceanic plate melts and forms magma, leading to volcanic activity. The continental plate is usually uplifted, creating mountain ranges.
What happens when one of the earth's plate goes under the other?
Either a volcano or earthquake happens.You see..if a plate goes under one,magma begins to turn the plate into a volcano and it erupts.The weaker plate goes under.SORRY FOR THE HORRIBLE DEMONSTRATION.HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.
What is it called when one plate goes under another plate?
Subduction is the process when one tectonic plate moves beneath another plate at a convergent boundary. This movement can lead to the recycling of old oceanic crust back into the mantle.
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:)
Whats the song called that goes that makes la's all the time?
Bad Romance?
What occurs when a continental and an ocean plate collide?
The oceanic plate goes under the continental plate and into the mantle in a process known as subduction. This results in the formation of mountains and volcanoes on the continental plate.
What is the name of plate that goes under a soup bowl?
It is used for putting soup.
How do volcanos form at a plate boundary?
When tectonic plates converge together at the bottom of the ocean the oceanic plate goes under the continental plate because the oceanic plate weighs more and then the oceanic plate pushes up the continental plate which forms mountains and sometimes the tectonic plates let magma through which goes up through the continental plate and then opens a hole at the top of the mountains called a vent which is where the steam, volcanic ash, debris and lava come out of.
Whats the name of the black du-rag look alike that goes under football helmets?
Skull cap, like from under armour
Whats the pathway called air and food go down?
Food goes down the esophogaus and air goes down the trachea.
What is the boat that goes under water called?
the name of a boat that goes underwater is called a SUBMARINE.
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate the oceanic plate is usually subducted because?
the oceanic plate is denser than the continental plate due to its composition and temperature. This causes the oceanic plate to be forced beneath the continental plate in a process known as subduction.
