What is the difference in spreading center earthquakes and subduction zone?
Spreading center earthquakes are always shallow, subduction zone earthquakes can be very deep.Spreading center earthquakes are typically of lower magnitude than subduction zone earthquakes.
Why does japan's location on the pacific rim put it at particular risk of tsunamis?
Earthquakes are common in the subduction zone
What is a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Pacific Ocean is called?
ring of fire... THIS ANSWER IS WRONGGG! I TRIED IT AND IT WAS WRONG!
What are typical characteristics of subduction zone?
Where oceanic crust meets continental crust and earthquakes can occur.
What natural disasters occur along a subduction zone?
As for I only know, there's only earthquakes and volcanic eruptions...please help!

What is created at a convergent boundary?
It is a subduction zone and can create earthquakes and volcanoes
Does Alaska have earthquakes?
Yes. Southern Alaska and the Aleutian Islands border a subduction zone, where one tectonic plate slides under another. This subduction zone has produced some of the most powerful Earthquakes on Earth.
What natural disaster are prone to Bali?
Earthquakes/tsunami as it is close to a subduction zone.

Why does Chile experience earthquakes?
Chile is located on a tectonic plate boundery and a subduction zone called the Peru-Chile trench. Very violent earthquakes happen at subduction zones.
What are typical characteristics of subduction zone?
Where oceanic crust meets continental crust and earthquakes can occur.
Is Sydney likely to experience subduction zone earthquakes?
No. It is impossible actually. The nearest subduction zone to Sydney is over 6,000 miles away. Any earthquake that would occur in Sydney would be an intraplate earthquake.
What term is used to describe the location where sinking of a plate occurs?
subduction zone
Did the largest magnitude earthquake in the past year occur at a subduction zone plate boundary?
Yes. All known earthquakes of magnitude 9.0 or greater have occurred at subduction boundaries.

As for I only know, there's only earthquakes and volcanic eruptions...please help!
