What else can I help you with?
Where does the deepest earthquakes occur?
treches. 300 km or below sea level.
Can earthquakes occur on the coast and by trenches?
Yes, depending whether the main cause was the volcano erupting.
Are there earthquakes along trenches?
Yes, earthquakes commonly occur along trenches due to the shifting of tectonic plates. Subduction zones at trenches are particularly prone to strong earthquakes as one tectonic plate moves beneath another, causing intense pressure and releasing energy in the form of seismic activity.
What do earthquakes volcanoes mineral deposits ocean trenches and mountain ranges all have in common?
they all occur along plate boundaries
What are converge trenches?
Convergent trenches are deep oceanic features where two tectonic plates collide and one is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This movement can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs, earthquakes, and the recycling of oceanic crust back into the mantle. Many of the Earth's largest and deepest earthquakes occur along convergent trenches.
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
What occurs along ocean trenches but not along mid ocean ridges that accounts for the occurrence's of deep focus earthquakes?
Subduction zones occur along ocean trenches where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another. This process causes deep focus earthquakes because the descending plate generates intense pressure and friction as it moves deeper into the Earth's mantle. In contrast, mid-ocean ridges are areas where tectonic plates move apart, causing shallow earthquakes.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What events commonly occurs at subduction zones?
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of deep ocean trenches commonly occur at subduction zones. The subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another can trigger these events due to the intense geologic activity and pressure present in these areas.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Do earthquakes occur as earth's plates collide?
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
