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.
The area where a plate descends is a?
subduction zone
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
What term is used to describe the location where sinking of a plate occurs?
subduction zone
Is island on a subduction zone?
no
What does not happen near a subduction zone?
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions do not usually happen away from a subduction zone. Subduction zones are known for their intense seismic activity and volcanic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates.
What forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate a. an ocean basin b. an ocean ridge c. a subduction zone d. a rift valley?
C. subduction zone
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.
Is the subduction zone being created or destroyed?
A subduction zone is a tectonic boundary where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another. So, in a subduction zone, the process of subduction is taking place, rather than being created or destroyed.
The location where the sinking of one plate beneath the other in a collisional boundary occurs is called a?
It is called a subduction zone.
What is a region where oceanic plates sink down into the asthenosphere?
A subduction zone is a region where oceanic plates sink down into the asthenosphere beneath another plate, such as at convergent plate boundaries. This process can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.
What kind of plate or part of a plate is most like to descend into the interior at the subduction zone?
The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone
