overriding plate

基本解釋

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.
