Study Notes
- Thin oceanic crust is pushed under thicker continental crust, creating a subduction zone.
- Subduction zone forms a big trench and pushes up to create a mountain range.
- Friction between moving plates causes the underplate to melt and form new magma.
- Mountain range creation can result in volcanoes due to the temperamental nature of the process.
- Constant movement of plates can cause earthquakes within the subduction zone.
