What is the mechanical layer of Earth that has the most active convection currents

The Earth's core.

What happens during subduction

Dense oceanic crust slides under less dense continental crust

A fault generally occurs at a transform boundary

A strike-slip fault generally occurs at a transform boundary

What keeps the inner core in a solid state

high pressure

What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in the mantle

The weight of the rocks in the crust and upper mantle results in the pressure that allows diamonds to form.

How does earths solid inner core affect seismic waves

Seismic waves contain both P waves and S waves. P waves can travel through the Earth including the inner core while S waves could not pass through the core.
