Which convergent plate boundary does not include a subduction zone Why?
A transform plate boundary does not involve subduction zones. This boundary is characterized by plates sliding past each other horizontally without any crust being destroyed or created. The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of a transform plate boundary.
The area where a plate descends is a?
subduction zone
What term is used to describe the location where sinking of a plate occurs?
subduction zone
How is magma created in a subduction zone?
Magma is created in a subduction zone when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate. The intense pressure and heat cause the subducted plate to melt, forming magma that rises to the surface and can lead to volcanic activity.
When is crust neither formed or destroyed?
Crust is neither formed nor destroyed when the rate of crust formation at mid-ocean ridges equals the rate of crust destruction at subduction zones. This balance is known as isostasy and helps maintain the overall thickness of the Earth's crust.
Does subduction create or destroy oceanic crust?
In a subduction zone the crust is forced inot the mantle where it is eventually melted and destroyed
Is mount Cleveland a subduction zone?
Moun Cleveland formed as a result of a subduction zone, but is not a subduction zone in and of itself. A subduction zone is a feature that forms volcanoes, not a kind of volcano.

The area where a plate descends is a?
subduction zone
What is created at a convergent boundary?
It is a subduction zone and can create earthquakes and volcanoes
What is happening to the earth's plates at the japan trench?
The pacific oceanic plate is sinking beneath the continental plate to which Japan is attached in what is called a subduction zone. The oceanic plate is being destroyed.
Where is the place where older crust is destroyed because two plates converge?
A destructive plate boundary (usually a subduction zone).
Is a subduction zone a plate boundaries?
A subduction zone is where one plate is being subducted ( pulled down) under another plate, No it is not a plate boundary but it is were it happens. hope this helps
What is subduction rates?
Subduction rate refers to the speed at which one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another in a subduction zone. This rate can vary depending on the specific subduction zone and the tectonic forces at play. Subduction rates are important in understanding plate tectonics and the geologic processes that shape the Earth's surface.
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
What term is used to describe the location where sinking of a plate occurs?
subduction zone
How is magma created in a subduction zone?
Magma is created in a subduction zone when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate. The intense pressure and heat cause the subducted plate to melt, forming magma that rises to the surface and can lead to volcanic activity.
