Geology as a science is focused on the study of the structures and functions of the Earth's processes, both in the past and at the present. In here we can make a rough division to physical and historical geology.

The physical geology is concerned with the study of the processes at the present, such as the volcanoes, earthquakes, rock formation, pollution issues etc.

The historical geology, on the other hand, is focused on studying the preserved evidence of the geological processes in the past.

Why are subduction zones not formed at continental-continental<br> convergent boundaries?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Subduction zones are collision between two tectonics plates such that one of the plates is subducted to the mantle (or sinks) directly below the other plate

Whereby the densities of the convergent (colliding) continental plates are lower than the density of the mantle, subduction is prevented from occurring, and subduction zones are not formed at the continental-continental convergent boundaries
