∙ 12y agoWhen oceanic plate is pulled down below continental plate at a converging plate boundary. The oceanic plate subducts.

∙ 12y agoIt occurs when the oceanic plate slips under the continental plate or another oceanis plate because it is less dense the plate above it. It occurs when two plates collide.

Where do subduction's occur?
Where crust is destroyed
Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones?
No
Where does hydration melting occur?
Along subduction zones.
What must be passed for earthquakes to occur?
seismic unit
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.
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.
Where do subduction's occur?
Where crust is destroyed
Do earthquakes occur in subduction zones?
For sure.
The deepest earthquakes tend to occur at?
Subduction boundaries
Where does hydration melting occur?
Along subduction zones.
Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones?
No
In what type of boundary do deep earthquakes occur in?
They occur at convergent boundaries where subduction is occurring.
What must be passed for earthquakes to occur?
seismic unit
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.
Does a subduction occur in a convergent boundary?
Subduction is when one of the plates is forced down beneath the other plate at the convergent boundary.
You occur where plates with continental crust push together?
The subduction
