Question

Which of the following processes does Not occur in the convergence of continental and oceanic plates?

Answer 1

Answer:

When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the oceanic crust will always subduct under the continental crust; this is because oceanic crust is naturally denser. Convergent boundaries are commonly associated with larger earthquakes and higher volcanic activity.

Answer 2

Answer:

Which of the following processes does Not occur in the convergence of continental and oceanic plates?

Explanation:

• Subduction- Subduction is the process which occurred in the convergence of continental and oceanic plates.
• The region is known as subduction zone were subduction takes place.
• Subduction mainly occur in continental area because the rocks in continental are buoyant to force in downward direction that is when continents collide they crumple.
• Oceanic plate always subduct and it will also cause the earthquake.
• Also volcanic arc will happen.
• There are few example of this oceanic subduction as- Nazca Plate under South America.
• There is some difference between oceanic and continental plates that is- thickness and the nature of there crust.
• When oceanic crust converges oceanic plates plunge.
