it is opposite because subdution sinks in the earth crust and back up and spreading boundaries spread appart.

Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.
Is Shield volcanoes found along subduction zones?
Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.
Is subduction divergent?
Subduction is a process that takes place at convergent boundaries.
What types of boundaries do subduction zones form?
This forms on the plate tectonic boundaries.... particularly the convergent plate boundries.
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.

What types of boundaries do subduction zones occur?
Convergent Boundaries!
Is subduction divergent?
Subduction is a process that takes place at convergent boundaries.
How does the plasticity of the Asthenosphere help tectonic plates move?
Because the Asthenosphere is malleable, divergent boundaries and convergent boundaries are formed. The plasticity of the Asthenosphere allows the plates to move through sea floor spreading and subduction zones.
What are spreading boundaries?
Spreading boundaries are places where two plates move apart.
What types of boundaries do subduction zones form?
This forms on the plate tectonic boundaries.... particularly the convergent plate boundries.
What in earths interior causes subduction and sea floor spreading?
Subduction and sea floor spreading are both a result of the movement of the tectonic plates.Plate Tectonics
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
Which boundaries are likely to result in volcanic island arcs?
offshore subduction boundaries.
What process in earth's interior causes subduction and sea floor spreading?
Subduction and sea floor spreading are both a result of the movement of the tectonic plates.Plate Tectonics
What is the difference beween subduction and convergence?
Subduction zones are also known as convergent boundaries, there is no difference.
