This boundary is responsible for the formation of the East African Rift Zone.

Where do Most earthquakes happen at the edge of?

What type of plate boundary leads to subduction?
A convergent plate boundary leads to subduction. This occurs when two tectonic plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other, typically resulting in the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs.
