At what type of boundary did the 1960 Chilean earthquake occur?
At a convergent boundary between oceanic and continental crust where subduction is occurring.
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
Is Krakatoa a divergent convergent or transform boundary?
Krakatoa is an convergent boundary with a subduction zone
What type tectonic plate boundary forms the Mariana trench?
A Transform Fault ZoneIn the textbook Earth Science and the Environment (4th Edition) by Thompson and Turk. Located on page 163, it shows that Tonga has a Convergent Boundary. A convergent boundary is where two lithospheic plates collide head on.
What kind of boundaries can cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
In what type of boundary do deep earthquakes occur in?
They occur at convergent boundaries where subduction is occurring.
At what type of boundary did the 1960 Chilean earthquake occur?
At a convergent boundary between oceanic and continental crust where subduction is occurring.
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
Is Krakatoa a divergent convergent or transform boundary?
Krakatoa is an convergent boundary with a subduction zone
Is the subduction zone a plate boundary?
Yes. They occur at convergent plate boundaries (especially oceanic-continental and occasionally at oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries).

What kind of boundaries can cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
what happens to a convergent boundary?
a subduction zone forms
What happens a a convergent boundary?
a subduction zone forms
Where is subduction most likely to occur?
Where an oceanic plate dives under a continental plate (e.g. just offshore the Washington/Oregon coast, creating a line of explosive volcanos just inland).
What zone of earthquake associated with convergent plate boundary?
subduction
Which landform would most likely be found at a convergent subduction boundary?
convergent boundary -rift valley divergent boundary -mid-ocean ridge
