What kind of plate boundary forms sea trenches?
Ocean trenches are associated with subduction zones, which are convergent plate boundaries.
What kind of landforms are formed from subduction?
Trenches,mountainranges, and islands
Places where tectonic plates come together?
Places where plates crash or crunch together are called convergent boundaries.
What kind of mountains form on the land side of a subduction zone?
volcanic mountains
What kind of force is involved with transform boundaries?
Shearing.
What kind of plate boundary forms sea trenches?
Ocean trenches are associated with subduction zones, which are convergent plate boundaries.
What kind of plate boundary formed a cinder cone volcano?
Subduction boundaries
What type of tectonic plate boundary is a strato-volcano on?
A strato-volcano is typically found at convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another in a process known as subduction. The molten rock (magma) produced by the subduction process rises to the surface, resulting in the formation of a strato-volcano.
What type of fault causes earthquakes?
Subduction Zones and Transform faults can produce Earthquakes.
What kind of volcanoes form along subduction zones?
Composite or stratovolcanoes typically form along subduction zones. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep-sided profile, explosive eruptions due to the presence of viscous magma, and alternating layers of lava flows and volcanic ash. Subduction zones are where one tectonic plate slides beneath another plate, leading to magma formation and volcanic activity.
Which kind of earthquake caused alishan mountain range?
The Alishan Mountain Range in Taiwan lies on the Ring of Fire around the Pacific. The Ring of Fire is a ring of subduction zones surrounding the Pacific which are commonly associated with volcanic activity. Subduction zones are usually associated with oceanic crust (in this case the Pacific) colliding with continental crust (in this case, Asia.) While earthquakes aren't categorized directly by the zones they're associated with, you get more earthquakes and deeper earthquakes at subduction zones rather than at constructive plate boundaries (i.e. the Mid-Atlantic Ridge) which are comparatively seismically quiet. In simpler terms, the Pacific crust moving into Asia from east to west pushed up the Alishan mountains in a collisional zone - which are commonly associated with high earthquake activity.
What kind of animals might be found grazing on land in the semiarid zones of turkey?
feyf
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.
Is mount Cleveland a subduction zone?
Moun Cleveland formed as a result of a subduction zone, but is not a subduction zone in and of itself. A subduction zone is a feature that forms volcanoes, not a kind of volcano.
What kind of climate marsupials like?
Marsupials are found in almost all climates. They can be found in desert areas, temperate zones, even alpine areas.
What kind of fault did the Christchurch earthquake happen on?
subduction
What kind of rocks are found at ocean to ocean convergent boundaries?
