GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Subduction zones are plate tectonic boundaries where two plates converge, and one plate is thrust beneath the other. This process results in geohazards, such as earthquakes and volcanoes.

Detailed explanation-2: -When tectonic plates converge, one plate slides beneath the other plate, or subducts, descending into the Earth’s mantle at rates of 2-8 centimeters (1–3 inches) per year.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plates rip apart at a divergent plate boundary, causing volcanic activity and shallow earthquakes; At a convergent plate boundary, one plate dives (“subducts”) beneath the other, resulting in a variety of earthquakes and a line of volcanoes on the overriding plate; More items •11-Feb-2020
