Question

Dr. Patel and her team have been using GPS to track two plates that are moving toward each

Answer 1

C: One plate is going underneath the other plate and sinking into the soft rock below.

Explanation:

Where plates are moving towards each other they are said to converging, and are called convergent margins.

The lithosphere is broken into series of slabs called plates. The plates moves on the weak and relatively soft asthenosphere below.

Plates have different motion. At some places, they move apart and they are said to be divergent.

When plates moves towards each other, they are convergent. At a convergent margin, a plate collides with another thereby causing the denser plate usually the oceanic plate to subduct into the asthenosphere. In some other cases, the plates can collide and build upward.
