There is no such thing as a subduction boundary, there are divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries. When there is a continental-oceanic convergent boundary (when a continental plate and an oceanic plate smash together) the oceanic plate, because it is more dense sinks into deeper layers of the earth. The area where the two plates meet makes a trench which is a subduction zone. The oceanic plate will melt into the earth and because of the excess lava it rises out onto the continent and makes a volcanic mountain and the lava erupts.

Where do faults usually occur along?
along the the boundarys between 2 or more tectonic plates
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
Where do p waves and s waves occur?
they occur i think in the plate boundarys.
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 faults usually occur along?
along the the boundarys between 2 or more tectonic plates
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
Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones?
No
Where does hydration melting occur?
Along subduction zones.
In what type of boundary do deep earthquakes occur in?
