24 Απρ 2024 · At an ocean-ocean convergent boundary, one of the plates (oceanic crust and lithospheric mantle) is pushed, or subducted, under the other. Often it is the older and colder plate that is denser and subducts beneath the younger and hotter plate. There is commonly an ocean trench along the boundary. The subducted lithosphere descends into the hot ...
16 Μαΐ 2024 · At an ocean-ocean convergent boundary, a plate margin consisting of oceanic crust and lithospheric mantle is subducted, or travels beneath, the margin of the plate it’s colliding with (Figure 4.29). Often it’s the older and colder plate that is denser and subducts beneath the younger and hotter plate.

3 ημέρες πριν · Figure 2.6.9 2.6. 9: Subduction of an oceanic plate beneath a continental plate, forming a trench and volcanic arc. Oceanic-continental subduction occurs when an oceanic plate dives below a continental plate. This convergent boundary has a trench and mantle wedge and frequently, a volcanic arc.
Most transform faults connect segments of mid-ocean ridges and are thus ocean-ocean plate boundaries (Figure 7.20). Some transform faults connect continental parts of plates.
We will refer to plate boundaries that are narrow at Earth's surface as discrete boundaries. A single curve on the map of a plate-boundary area is sufficient to identify where a discrete plate boundary intersects the ground surface, also known as the ground-surface trace of the boundary.
At convergent plate boundaries where an oceanic plate meets a continental plate, oceanic crust is forced down into the Earth’s mantle and begins to melt. The melted rock rises into and through the overlying plate as magma, often forming a chain of volcanoes parallel to the plate boundary.
