Question

Which of the following statements are TRUE? a. All convergent plate boundaries involve the process of rifting b. All subduction zones involve the interaction of oceanic and continental crust c. All subduction zones occur at convergent plate boundaries d. Some divergent boundaries are also convergent boundaries e. All convergent plate boundaries are subduction zones

Answer 1

Answer:

e. All convergent plate boundaries are subduction zones

Explanation:

• It's well known that any place either on land or ocean when is subdued into the earth's mantle is formed by a subduction zone where the plate boundaries collide either oceanic or continental boundaries this collision can result from the earthquake and volcanic eruptions.

• These collisions thus lead to the creation of mountains and volcanoes at greater altitudes as the place gets elevated and as a result of the slab push and pull as many earthquakes generally occur in this shallow zone also named as the Benioff zone.

• Plates dip here at an angle of 45 degrees and thus form these internal subduction zones that lead to lithospheric density differentiation
