What else can I help you with?
Ocean plates are pushed down into the upper mantle in what?
Subduction Zones.
What process is evident at oceanic trenches?
subduction, which is when one tectonic plate is pushed down beneath another tectonic plate.
What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?
subduction boundary!!!
Is St Helen volcano a result of a hot spot or subduction?
Mount St. Helens is a result of subduction as the Juan de Fuca Plate is pushed under the North American Plate.
When two plates collide the denser plate does what?
It gets pushed down under the lighter plate. This process is called subduction.
What makes some plate boundaries likely places for volcanoes to erupt?
Subduction zones are where lighter (less dense) stuff get pushed below heavier stuff.
What are the oceanic plates pushed down in the upper mantle in?
Subduction Zones.

subduction boundary!!!
When one piece of land is pushed over another what type of fault is it?
It is called subduction.
What is the name of the geographic event where one plate is pushed below another plate?
Subduction.
What is a geographical subduction zone?
A geographical subduction zone is a fault line where two plates move towards each other. The more dense plate gets pushed under the other; this is called subduction.
When a plate is pushed into another plate what process is that?
When one tectonic plate is pushed beneath another plate, it is called subduction. This process occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is denser than the other, causing it to sink into the mantle. Subduction zones are associated with deep ocean trenches and can lead to volcanic activity and earthquakes.
Oceanic plates are pushed down into the upper mantle in?
Oceanic plates are pushed down into the upper mantle in a process known as subduction. This occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another due to differences in density. Subduction zones are associated with earthquakes and volcanic activity.
When a moving plate collides and is pushed under another plate?
This process is known as subduction, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate in the Earth's lithosphere. Subduction zones are often associated with the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs due to the intense heat and pressure created by the descending plate melting the mantle.
