What zone formed where two oceanic plates collide?
zone of subduction

What is the similarity between a fault and a fault zone?

When two plates move together (at least one must be oceanic crust), one will sink beneath the other. The result is that a subduction zone forms between the two plates at the location where they meet.
An earthquake zone is likely to be along?
An earthquake zone is likely to be along fault lines or where two or more tectonic plates meet or a chain of volcanoes parallel to a continental coast.

What is a region where oceanic plates sink down into the asthenosphere?
