What else can I help you with?
Which convergent plate boundry does not include a subduction zone and why?
The plate boundary is continental - continental. This creates mountains and earthquakes, but one plate doesn't go under the other
Where would the deepest earthquakes most likely occur?
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.
What two types of plates create the deepest quakes?
The deepest earthquakes typically occur at convergent plate boundaries, where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate or another oceanic plate. This subduction process allows for the generation of deep-focus earthquakes, often exceeding depths of 300 kilometers. The two types of plates involved in this scenario are oceanic plates and continental plates, with the oceanic plate being the one that subducts.
Where would you find some of the deepest earthquakes on planet earth?
Some of the deepest earthquakes on Earth occur in subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. These earthquakes can happen as deep as 700 kilometers (430 miles) below the surface. Examples of subduction zones where deep earthquakes occur include the Japan Trench and the Peru-Chile Trench.
What is a famous known plate boundary?
The San Andreas fault -- the boundary between the Pacific and North American plates
What plate boundaries experience the deepest earthquakes?
Subduction zones have the deepest earthquakes.
Which convergent plate boundry does not include a subduction zone and why?

The deepest earthquakes occur were?
The deepest earthquakes occur at subduction zones where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another into the Earth's mantle. These earthquakes can occur as deep as 700 km below the surface.
Which plate boundaries experience the deepest earthquakes and why?
Convergent plate boundaries where subduction occurs experience the deepest earthquakes. This is because in a subduction zone one (oceanic) lithospheric plate is being forced beneath another down into the mantle. Stresses build up within the descending pate at great depth causing earthquakes with focusses at much greater depths than earthquakes at other plate boundaries.
Why do you have so many earthquakes and volcanoes around the Pacific plate?
It is a destructive boundry, when the plate sticks tention builds up when the two plates unstick there is massive shockwave.
Where would the deepest earthquakes most likely occur?
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.
What pattern do you see among plates boundaries earthquakes and volcanoes?
most earthquakes occur at the plate boundaries because the plate boundaries are the weakest zones and earthquakes are likely to occur there . you can also take help from science ncert of 8 class.
Why do earthquakes occur in loma prieta?
because loma preita mountain sits on the boundry between the North American Tectonic plate and the Pacific plate where the san Andreas fault lies.
What two plates create the deepest quakes?
The Pacific Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate create the deepest earthquakes, known as deep-focus earthquakes. These occur along subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another into the mantle, reaching depths of up to 700 kilometers (430 miles) below the Earth's surface.
What two types of plates create the deepest quakes?
The deepest earthquakes typically occur at convergent plate boundaries, where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate or another oceanic plate. This subduction process allows for the generation of deep-focus earthquakes, often exceeding depths of 300 kilometers. The two types of plates involved in this scenario are oceanic plates and continental plates, with the oceanic plate being the one that subducts.
What kind of plate boundary has the deepest earthquake?
Subduction zone plate boundaries have the deepest earthquakes. These occur when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, creating intense pressure and friction that lead to deep-seated seismic activity.
What type of plate boundry is creating the shiveluch volcano in russia?
A convergent boundry is creating the shiveluch volcano in Russia. The Eurasian plate collides with the Pacific plate
