What else can I help you with?
Why do you usually find volcanoes near subduction zones?
When one plate slides beneath another it carries volatiles such as water with it. These substances get into the mantle rock and lower the temperature needed for it to melt. This molten material then rises as it is less dense and forms volcanoes as it reaches the surface.
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 type of landforms or activity can be found at a convergent boundary?
At a convergent boundary, landforms such as mountains, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic arcs can be found. Tectonic activity includes the subduction of one plate under another, leading to the formation of these features. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are also common at convergent boundaries.
Which boundary will you find a trench in the sea floor?
A destructive plate boundary (WITH a subduction zone!)
How likely is Houston is to experience a tsunami?
Houston is very unlikely to experience a tsunami. Most tsunamis originate at subduction zones of which there are none in the Gulf of Mexico. There are islands that would block a tsunami in between the Gulf and the nearest subduction zone. Most tsunamis that somehow find their way to Texas will be fairly small, though still capable of causing damage. Even in an event like this, Houston would be protected from the tsunami by Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula.
Where do you find ocean trenches and rift valleys?
at the very bottom of the ocean, usally
Where do you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes on Earth's surface?
usually you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes at a plate boundary.

Where on earth would you find a subduction zone?
You could find subduction zones in the depths of the oceans, at some plate boundaries. At this location, you would observe one tectonic plate (a plate of lower density then the other) being slipped under another plate into magma. These are also known as destructive boundaries, because crust is being destroyed, (as opposed to diverent boundaries where leaking magma creates new crust.)

Where can you find cactuar in any Final Fantasy game?
They usually show up in desert zones.
How do you find out how many time zones there is?
there are 24 time zones
What is one structure that you would find at an active continental margin that you would not at a passive?
One structure you would find at an active continental margin that you would not find at a passive margin is a subduction zone. Subduction zones occur at active margins where tectonic plates collide, resulting in one plate being forced beneath the other. This process can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs, deep ocean trenches, and earthquakes.
Why are igneous rock found in collision zones?
There are many explanation to your question. The most abundant type of rocks in collision zones are metamorphic rocks. But if there is a igneous it can as a result of convergence boundaries. In subduction zones where rising magma are penetrate through weaker rocks to form form lava and when solidified forms igneous rocks. You can also find them in accretion zones. Where 2 continental plates are accreted due to plate movement. They are not newly formed igneous. they have been there for years before accretion.
Where is the best place online to find out about international time zones?
The best page to find out about international time zones is a page called "TimeAndDate". On their website you will find all the different time zones. You can even search after a particular city to find out what time it is in their timezone.
What type of landforms or activity can be found at a convergent boundary?
At a convergent boundary, landforms such as mountains, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic arcs can be found. Tectonic activity includes the subduction of one plate under another, leading to the formation of these features. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are also common at convergent boundaries.
Where are Nintendo zones located?
You can find Nintendo Zones in locations such as McDonalds, Bestbuy and Future Shop.
