Question

When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate:

A- The oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate

B- The oceanic plate is folded into mountain ranges

C- Both plates sink into the fluid mantle

D- Both plates are folded into mountain ranges

Answer 1

When a oceanic plate collides with a continental plate the oceanic plate is forced under the continental plate therefore the process is called subduction because the oceanic plate is less dense than the continental plate.
The answer is (A)

Answer 2

When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate: - A- The oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate.

The oceanic plate is subducted under the continental plate due to the high density of the oceanic plate when an oceanic and a continental plate collide.

• In this process, the oceanic plate will bend and slide under the other.
• This happens because the oceanic plate is denser (heavier) than the continental plate.
• This process is called subduction that forms a deep ocean trench at this subduction boundary.
• It forms a subduction zone.

Thus, When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate: - A- The oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate.
