Subduction of oceanic crust. The Earthquakes occur at depth in the descending slab.
The process that occurs at convergent boundaries is called subduction. This is when one tectonic plate moves under another, creating deep ocean trenches and often leading to volcanic activity and earthquakes.
A subduction zone is where one plate (usually the ocean plate) dives under another (continental) plate. Friction causes earthquakes along it and melts the rock. The molten rock may have enough pressure to break the surface to form volcanoes.
Subduction occurs at a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates move towards each other and one is forced beneath the other into the mantle. This process often leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.
Yes, shaking is a primary characteristic of earthquakes
True. Each earthquake is unique and can be caused by a variety of different factors. This makes it difficult to predict earthquakes accurately because no single change in the Earth occurs for all earthquakes.
A natural phenomenon is an observable event that occurs in the physical world and is not influenced by human actions. It includes occurrences like earthquakes, lightning, rainbows, and tornadoes.
Trenches
The process that occurs at convergent boundaries is called subduction. This is when one tectonic plate moves under another, creating deep ocean trenches and often leading to volcanic activity and earthquakes.
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of deep ocean trenches commonly occur at subduction zones. The subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another can trigger these events due to the intense geologic activity and pressure present in these areas.
Earthquakes in the ocean may cause tsunamis.
No single change occurs before all earthquakes.
Earthquakes.
That causes earthquakes

The word magnitude (in the context of earthquakes) is used to describe the amount of energy released when one occurs.
yes! that's true
