What are typical characteristics of subduction zone?
Where oceanic crust meets continental crust and earthquakes can occur.
What does not happen near a subduction zone?
anything can happen at a subduction zone
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
Is volcan De fuego related to a hot spot or a subduction zone?

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.
Subduction occurs when?
It can occur in a subduction zone.
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a 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.
What is a region where oceanic plates sink down into the asthenosphere?
Most notable is the so-called 'Ring of Fire', an area encircling the Pacific Ocean where oceanic crustal plates are subducting under continental plates and less dense oceanic plates.
Is island on a subduction zone?
no
Is japan on a hot spot?

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.
