At underwater subduction zones,the oceanic and continential plate collides into one another. The denser plate would be subducted unsder the less dense plate.

At the subduction zones,submarine volcanoes or volcanoes would form as magma rise along the crack.
Under subduction,ocean trench would also be formed.
If it is an continential plate and oceanic plate subduction,fold mountain may be found.

Answer


<h2>Trenches</h2><h2 /><h2>Explanation</h2>

A subduction zone is the largest wreck scene on Earth. These lines indicate the crash within two of the planet's tectonic plates. The plates are pieces of crust that slowly move across the planet's cover over millions of years. Where two tectonic plates meet, if one or both of the plates are oceanic lithosphere, a subduction zone will form. An oceanic plate will soak back into the mantle. Remember, oceanic plates are made from mantle material at midocean ranges.

Explanation:

The region shown on the map is Central America, but also the Caribbean Sea. This region, geographically speaking, is part of North America because it lies on the North American plate, but very often it is put as a separate region known as Central America, or rather the part of the Americas that connect North and South America. East of this region is located the Caribbean Sea, while west of is the Pacific Ocean

Central America is a region that was formerly a Spanish colony, with the exception of Belize, and this can be seen easily in the culture and languages that are spoken, with the Spanish dominating in six of the seven countries, while in Belize it is the English that is dominant. Five of the countries of Central America have access to both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, giving them an excellent strategic location. The region is almost entirely dominated by a tropical wet climate and it is covered with tropical rainforests. While many things seem to be excellent for these countries to be well developed and to have going well, they still struggle a lot, mainly because of internal conflicts.
