There is not a definition for this term. It seems that an impact zone would be the area where the earthquake happened.
In subduction zones.
usually you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes at a plate boundary.
The deepest earthquakes occur at subduction zones where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another into the Earth's mantle. These earthquakes can occur as deep as 700 km below the surface.
yes you can get active and inactive earthquakes zones.
For sure.
Subduction zones have the deepest earthquakes.
Yes. Earthquakes at subduction zones can trigger tsunamis.
Countries are vulnerable to earthquakes based on their location along tectonic plate boundaries, historic seismic activity, and building construction standards. Areas near subduction zones, fault lines, or rift zones are more susceptible to earthquakes. Poorly constructed buildings and infrastructure can increase the impact of seismic events on a country's population and economy.
Slabs of ocean floor return to the mantle in subduction zones
of corse it can!! It can happen in any area anytime
near subduction zones
The most violent earthquakes are generally associated with subduction zones where tectonic plates collide and one is forced beneath the other. These subduction zones can produce very large and destructive earthquakes, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. Spreading centers, on the other hand, usually produce smaller earthquakes due to the gradual separation of tectonic plates.
