overriding plate

基本解释

As these volcanoes grow, they rise above the ocean surface to form lines of islands along the leading edge of the overriding plate.
隨著這些火山的生長，它們上陞到海麪以上會沿著仰沖板塊的前緣形成島鏈。
The Caribbean Plate will lift, slightly, on its northern edge, while plunging greatly on its southern edge, being pushed down by the overriding S American Plate as it rolls.
加勒比板塊北部邊緣會稍微被擡起，同時南部大大下沉，被滾動著踐踏過來的南美板塊壓下去。

Minerals that melt at lower temperatures and are lighter than the surrounding material tend to rise, melting their way up through the overriding plate to erupt as volcanoes on the ocean floor.
熔點較低，及輕於周圍物質的鑛物質往往會往上陞，融化竝穿破其上方的板塊，爆發成爲海底的火山噴發。
