A subduction zone is where one plate is being subducted ( pulled down) under another plate, No it is not a plate boundary but it is were it happens.
hope this helps
What else can I help you with?
What forms where a oceanic plate begins to move down in a subduction zone?
Convergent Boundaries
What plate collisions would most likely result in a subduction zone?
Convergent plate boundaries where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate or another oceanic plate are most likely to result in a subduction zone. In this scenario, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate, creating a subduction zone.
What is the region along a plate boundary where one plate is moved beneath another called?
The region is called a subduction zone. It occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced below another due to differences in density. This subduction process can lead to volcanic activity and earthquakes.
The area where a plate descends is a?
subduction zone
At what type of boundaries do subduction zones form?
In plate tectonics, when two tectonic plates move toward each other, it results in the formation of what is called a convergent plate boundary. The two plates are said to converge. One plate may be more dense than the other, and with the two plates pushing against each other, the plate that is more dense will "slide under" the other plate. The plate sliding under is said to subduct the other plate, and this creates what is called a subduction zone. Not all convergent plate boundaries have subduction zones, but all subduction zones are formed at convergent plate boundaries.
What is the name of the area where the crust goes back down into the earth?
The area where the crust goes back down into the Earth is called a subduction zone. Subduction zones are typically found at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another plate.
What plate boundaries are near the colima Mexico volcano?
It is the subduction zone between the Cocos and North American plates.
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?
Volcanic island arcs are likely to result from convergent boundaries where an oceanic plate subducts beneath another oceanic plate or a continental plate. The subducted plate can melt, causing magma to rise and form a series of volcanic islands above the subduction zone.
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
No, subduction is not common at divergent plate boundaries. Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by plates moving away from each other, which creates new oceanic crust. Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and one descends beneath the other.
Is the subduction zone a plate boundary?
Yes, a subduction zone is a type of plate boundary—specifically, a convergent plate boundary. 🔍 What is a Subduction Zone? A subduction zone is where one tectonic plate (usually oceanic) dives beneath another plate (continental or oceanic) and is forced into the mantle. 🔥 Key Features of a Subduction Zone: Deep ocean trenches (e.g., Mariana Trench) Earthquakes, including very powerful ones (megathrust quakes) Volcanic arcs (e.g., Andes, Japan) Mountain building in some cases 🧭 So, in short: Yes: It's a type of plate boundary (convergent) #JAIDIXIT It’s where subduction occurs, and many major geological features form
What kind of plate or part of a plate is most like to descend into the interior at subduction zone?
The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone
