Where are subduction zones likely to form?

Geography
2 answers:
NARA [144]3 years ago

Answer:

B. Between converging oceanic and continental plates

Explanation:

Subduction happens when a tectonic plate slides under another one.

For this to occur, the two plates have to be converging towards each other.  

The plates running towards each other are usually an oceanic plate converging towards a continental plate, since continental plates are too far apart and separated by oceanic plates.  It could happen between two oceanic plates... but that's really an exception.

Diverging plates are not causing any subduction since they are running away from each other.  Just by that fact, you can eliminate the answers A, C and D.

Answer:

B. Between oceanic plates and continents converging

Explanation:

A subduction zone is a region of multilevel tectonic plate movements in which one plate moves under another and is forced or submerged by gravity into the mantle. Stable subduction zones involve oceanic lithosphere from one plate sliding below the continental lithosphere or another oceanic plate due to higher oceanic lithosphere density. That is, the subducted lithosphere is always oceanic while the overlapping lithosphere may or may not be oceanic.

Convergent is a plate movement where the plates move toward each other where the force acting on this motion is the compressional force. Subduction is part of convergent movement. Areas that are above this subduction zone will usually occur volcanism and also earthquakes with high intensity.

So the correct answer is B. Between oceanic plates and continents converging
