What type of boundaries are subduction zones associated with?
Convergent oceanic - continental and oceanic - oceanic boundaries.
What forms at a subduction zone?
Volcanic arcs and oceanic trenches commonly form at subduction zones.
Where can valuable mineral deposits such as gold form?
at subduction zones
What did the pattern of earthquakes in the wadati-Benioff seafloor zones show?
Slabs of ocean floor return to the mantle in subduction zones
Why do earthquakes often happen around around the ring of fire?
The ring is the location of subduction zones
Would the most violent earth quacks be associated with spreading centers or subduction zones?
subduction zones
What is a good sentence for subduction zone?
Volcanoes are most commonly associated with the top plate in subduction zones.
Which metamorphic rocks form under high stress and low to moderate temperatures in subduction zones?
Blueschist
The deepest earthquakes occur were?
In Subduction zones.
What type of boundaries are subduction zones associated with?
Convergent oceanic - continental and oceanic - oceanic boundaries.
The blank ocean basin is rimmed by the most subduction zones?
The Pacific Ocean basin is rimmed by the most subduction zones. These subduction zones form as one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, creating deep ocean trenches. The Pacific Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean, is known for having numerous subduction zones and is associated with high levels of seismic activity and volcanic eruptions.
What feature is not associated with subduction zones?
Rift valleys, sea-floor spreading and mid-ocean ridge.
Where are the most explosive volcanoes subduction zones or rift zones?
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
Is the Korean peninsula considered to be an active tectonic or volcanic region?
There are active volcanoes in Korea with associated plate subduction zones.
What kind of plate boundary forms sea trenches?
Ocean trenches are associated with subduction zones, which are convergent plate boundaries.
What deep ocean feature form at subduction zones?
Trenches are deep ocean features of subduction zones.
Which geographic feature is associated with subduction zones?
Subduction Zones are usually known to be part of the Destructive Plate Boundary. The changes that occur in this boundary are: Oceanic crust moves towards the continental crust, but due to the weight of the oceanic crust, the oceanic crust sinks and gets destroyed. This forms deep sea trenches and island archs with volcanoes. As the oceanic crust is forced downwards, the increase in pressure can trigger earthquakes to strike... Basically, the two plates (oceanic and continental) are associated with subduction zones.... Hope this helped ^ ^
