Is subduction common at divergent plate boundaries?
No, subduction is not common at divergent plate boundaries. Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by plates moving away from each other, which creates new oceanic crust. Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and one descends beneath the other.
Is subduction constructive or destructive?
It is neither, because plate is not being made or destroyed. Divergent is constructive. Convergent is destructive. Subduction is constructive.
Was mount Shasta formed on a subduction zone?
yes, it is it is not a divergent or hot spot
What type of plate collision does not result in subduction of one plate under the other?
A divergent boundary does not result in the subduction of one plate under the other.
Is the geothermal gradient associated with divergent plate boundaries greater than the gradient associated with subduction zones?
The geothermal gradient associated with divergent plate boundaries is typically lower than the gradient at subduction zones. This is because at divergent boundaries, the crust is thinning and heat can more easily escape from the mantle, while at subduction zones, the subducted plate can carry heat deeper into the Earth, increasing the geothermal gradient.
What are subduction zones called?
Divergent Boundries

Is the volcano Cerro Azul on a subduction zone hot spot or divergent boundary?
hot spot

When one plate slides underneath of another plate it is called?
This process is known as subduction.
What are the 3 ways of plate movement?
That is easy there are acctuaslly 4 they are convergent,covergent subduction, divergent, and transform.
The cycle of heating rising cooling and sinking is called?
The convection / subduction cycle.
Define and relate the following to the plate tectonics theory?
There are 2 tectonics theories namely: divergent boundary and subduction zone. The boundary of the plate tectonics where two plates are placed is called divergent boundary while the subduction zone is a convergent boundary where in one plate is subducted on another.
What is the boundary of mount fuji is it a divergent bountry subduction or hot spot?
The boundary of Mount Fuji is created by the subduction of the Pacific Plate underneath the North American Plate. This subduction has led to the formation of the volcanic arc that includes Mount Fuji.
