Describe how a 'Strike-Slip Fault' is different from a 'Transform Fault'.
What is the name of the process of one tectonic plate going under another?
Oceanic Crust and Continental Crust converge.
Which goes under, and why?
Why does the top of the continental crust deform and fracture in a subduction zone?
The crust melting from the subducting plate causes magma to 'float up' to the surface and create volcanoes.
What is the driving force behind the movement of the tectonic plates?
When oceanic and oceanic plates converge, the plate tends to subduct because it is often the one with the density.
