when two oceanic plates collide
Subduction zones form along convergent boundaries and can be thousands of kilometers long. Subduction zones allows one plate to slide beneath another plate, and enter into the mantle.

∙ 11y agothey are when 1 plate under another, the plate over riding gets pushed back and when an earth quake happensit snaps up.The jump of the plates push the water above and that forms a tsunami

The deepest earthquakes occur were?
In Subduction zones.
Subduction occurs when?
It can occur in a subduction zone.
Would the most violent earth quacks be associated with spreading centers or subduction zones?
subduction zones
These are formed when oceanic plates slide under continental plates?
When oceanic plates slide under continental plates they form subduction zones. Subduction zones always occur at convergent boundaries where one plate slides beneath another plate.
Does subduction occur at normal faults?
Normal faults are also known as dip-slip faults and usually occur at convergent zones. The reason they occur at convergent zones is because the blocks involved are displaced toward each other caused by compressional forces.
The deepest earthquakes occur were?
In Subduction zones.
Do Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones.?
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.
Do earthquakes occur in subduction zones?
For sure.
Where does hydration melting occur?
Along subduction zones.
Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones?
No
What types of boundaries do subduction zones occur?
Convergent Boundaries!
Why do subduction zones and fold mountain belts often occur to be close?
because the your cat has swag
Where are the most explosive volcanoes subduction zones or rift zones?
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
Where do the most destructive volcanic eruptions occur?
At subduction zones due to the occurrence of very large thrust faults.
Subduction occurs when?
It can occur in a subduction zone.
Would the most violent earth quacks be associated with spreading centers or subduction zones?
subduction zones
What deep ocean feature form at subduction zones?
Trenches are deep ocean features of subduction zones.
