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 does a subduction zone form and what are the key processes involved in its creation?
A subduction zone forms when one tectonic plate moves beneath another plate. This happens because the denser oceanic plate sinks below the less dense continental plate. The key processes involved in the creation of a subduction zone include the convergence of tectonic plates, the sinking of the denser plate into the mantle, and the generation of earthquakes and volcanic activity along the subduction zone.
What forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate a. an ocean basin b. an ocean ridge c. a subduction zone d. a rift valley?
C. subduction zone
Is the subduction zone being created or destroyed?
A subduction zone is a tectonic boundary where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another. So, in a subduction zone, the process of subduction is taking place, rather than being created or destroyed.
what happens to a convergent boundary?
a subduction zone forms
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
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.

Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.

Is island on a subduction zone?
no
What does not happen near a subduction zone?
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions do not usually happen away from a subduction zone. Subduction zones are known for their intense seismic activity and volcanic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates.
What forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate a. an ocean basin b. an ocean ridge c. a subduction zone d. a rift valley?
C. subduction zone
What is the difference in spreading center earthquakes and subduction zone?
Spreading center earthquakes are always shallow, subduction zone earthquakes can be very deep.Spreading center earthquakes are typically of lower magnitude than subduction zone earthquakes.
Is the subduction zone being created or destroyed?
A subduction zone is a tectonic boundary where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another. So, in a subduction zone, the process of subduction is taking place, rather than being created or destroyed.
