Basalt pushed into the crust by subduction will likely become metamorphosed into a rock called eclogite due to the high pressure and temperature conditions experienced in the subduction zone.
The deepest earthquakes typically occur in subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another plate into the Earth's mantle. These earthquakes can occur several hundred kilometers below the surface due to the intense pressure and heat at these depths.
Where crust is destroyed
The most likely location is along the west coast - because of the subduction (being pushed under) of the pacific plate by north America. Then there's a giant hot spot under Yellowstone - when that let's go it should be a beauty.
Convergent plate boundaries where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate or another oceanic plate are most likely to result in a subduction zone. In this scenario, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate, creating a subduction zone.
Trenches are most likely to occur at convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates collide and one is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This creates deep oceanic trenches, such as the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean, which is the deepest known trench on Earth.
Explosive volcanoes are most likely to occur in subduction zones where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, leading to the melting of rock and the buildup of pressure. Regions like the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean are known for their explosive volcanic activity.
A major earthquake is most likely to occur along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. This area encircles the Pacific Ocean and is known for high seismic activity. Subduction zones and transform faults are common locations for major earthquakes to occur.
Victimization is most likely to occur when
A stock split is most likely to occur when
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.
Basalt pushed into the crust by subduction will likely become metamorphosed into a rock called eclogite due to the high pressure and temperature conditions experienced in the subduction zone.
Ocean trenches form at areas of subduction.
At a convergent boundary.
A subductive collision.

No. It is impossible actually. The nearest subduction zone to Sydney is over 6,000 miles away. Any earthquake that would occur in Sydney would be an intraplate earthquake.
