Theory of Plate Tectonics
... ocean trenches are areas where plates are being recycled. This can happen where two plates push together. The crust on the edge of one plate is slowly forced under the other. The plate gets pushed back down into Earth's mantle. It will become molten rock again. This type of area is known as a subduc ...

Homework Due Friday, January 15, 2016 The Plate Tectonic Theory
... Movement of the plates not only causes trenches and ridges on the ocean floor, but it can also form mountains on land. When two continental plates push together, there is so much force that the plates buckle, forming massive mountain ranges. The friction during crustal movement can sometimes cause e ...
