Are subducting plate boundaries the same as convergent plate boundaries?
A subduction zone can be a result of a convergent plate boundary, but the terms are not synonymous. If the two convergent plates are continental, neither of them will subduct.
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
At what type of boundaries do subduction zones form?
In plate tectonics, when two tectonic plates move toward each other, it results in the formation of what is called a convergent plate boundary. The two plates are said to converge. One plate may be more dense than the other, and with the two plates pushing against each other, the plate that is more dense will "slide under" the other plate. The plate sliding under is said to subduct the other plate, and this creates what is called a subduction zone. Not all convergent plate boundaries have subduction zones, but all subduction zones are formed at convergent plate boundaries.
What kind of plate or part of a plate is most like to descend into the interior at subduction zone?
The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone
Was Mount St. Helens formed along a subduction zone or a rift zone?
Mount St. Helens was formed along a subduction zone, where the Juan de Fuca Plate plate dives under (subducts) the North American plate.
Is a subduction zone a plate boundaries?
A subduction zone is where one plate is being subducted ( pulled down) under another plate, No it is not a plate boundary but it is were it happens. hope this helps
What forms where an oceanic plate begins to move down in a subduction zone?
Convergent Boundaries
What forms where a oceanic plate begins to move down in a subduction zone?
Convergent Boundaries
What is the region along plate boundaries where one plate moves beneath another called?
It is called a subduction zone.
Is the subduction zone a plate boundary?
Yes. They occur at convergent plate boundaries (especially oceanic-continental and occasionally at oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries).

Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
What plate boundaries are near the colima Mexico volcano?
It is the subduction zone between the Cocos and North American plates.

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

The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone
What plate boundary are volcanic islands?
Volcanic islands typically form near subduction zone, but they can also form at hot spots, which are not associated with plate boundaries.
