No. Diverging means "moving apart." Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where two plates come together and one slides under the other.

What type of plate boundary causes a trench to form?
Diverging Plate Boundaries
Subduction zones are found near what kind of boundaries?
Convergent plate boundaries, usually oceanic plate to continental plate.
What feature forms at diverging oceanic plates?
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary leads to subduction?
Convergent plate boundaries lead to subduction. Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate rides over the edge of another tectonic plate which sinks into the mantle as they converge.
What plate boundaries experience the deepest earthquakes?
Subduction zones have the deepest earthquakes.
What forms at diverging plate boundaries?
At diverging plate boundaries, you get a rift valley.
What types of boundaries do subduction zones form?
This forms on the plate tectonic boundaries.... particularly the convergent plate boundries.
Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
Subduction doesnt occur at divergent boundaries, but rather they are found at convergent boundaries.
What type of plate boundary causes a trench to form?
Diverging Plate Boundaries
Subduction zones are found near what kind of boundaries?
Convergent plate boundaries, usually oceanic plate to continental plate.
What are plates called that are divergent plate boundaries?
Diverging tectonic plates.
What voncanoes are located along a diverging plate boundaries?
Submarine volcanoes.
What boundary do subduction zones form on?
Subduction zones form along some tectonic plate boundaries. Of the three general types of tectonic plate boundaries, we will see them form at some (but not all) of what are called convergent plate boundaries.
What is another name for subduction zones?
Convergent plate boundariesDestructive plate boundaries
What feature forms at diverging oceanic plates?
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.
Which type of plate boundaries produce volcanoes?
Continental and Oceanic plates.
Is this true or false can volcanoes form along diverging plate boundaries?
true
