The Pacific Ocean, you can see this very clearly by the "Ring of Fire"
What else can I help you with?
The blank ocean basin is rimmed by the most subduction zones?
The Pacific Ocean basin is rimmed by the most subduction zones. These subduction zones form as one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, creating deep ocean trenches. The Pacific Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean, is known for having numerous subduction zones and is associated with high levels of seismic activity and volcanic eruptions.
What deep ocean feature form at subduction zones?
Trenches are deep ocean features of subduction zones.
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink at subduction but not at mid ocean ridges?
oceanic lithosphere sinks at subduction zones but not at mid ocean ridges because at subduction zones the oceanic lithosphere is subducted, or sinks, under another plate. Oceanic Lithosphere sinks at subduction zones which are usually at convergent boundaries, but at mid-ocean ridges the plates are actually separating not coming together
What causes so many earthquakes in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
Earthquakes are actually very rare in the Atlantic Ocean as the only subduction zones in the Atlantic basin are along the eastern edge of the Caribbean Plate and the eastern edge of the Scotia Plate. Since these subduction zones are small, they are not exceptionally active and that accounts for the low incidence of earthquakes. Hope this helps.
Is ocean floor subducted at transform boundaries?
No, only at subduction zones.
Ocean plates are pushed down into the upper mantle in what?
Subduction Zones.
Why are the continents very young?
mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones
What deep feature of the ocean floor is found at subduction zones?
A trench.
What is the region where oceanic lithosphere sinks into the asthenosphere?
This process occurs at subduction zones, where one tectonic plate descends beneath another plate into the asthenosphere. Subduction zones are typically associated with deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
Where do you find ocean trenches and rift valleys?
at the very bottom of the ocean, usally
What did the pattern of earthquakes in the wadati-Benioff seafloor zones show?
Slabs of ocean floor return to the mantle in subduction zones
Where is Ocean crust being destroyed?
At subduction zones along convergent plate boundaries.
