African plate, which is movie in a north easterly direction is heading towards the Eurasian plate which is going south west. This is called a convergent boundary. Both plates will crash and the heavier more dense plate will break off and slip under the lighter plate and will be melted by the hot magma.
Im also doing an assigment on Mt Vesuvius and i asked a question on yahoo answers. https://answersrip.com/question/index?qid=20130410173203AArtBFi . That is the link. I would be very thankful of u could answer it.
