Question

in which place does subduction occur? a. at transform boundaries b. where two plates move apart c. at most normal faults d. where two plates collide

Answer 1

subduction: the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate. so, subduction would occur where two plates meet, or collide, making the answer D.

Answer 2

Answer;

D. where two plates collide

Explanation;

-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.

-Subduction zone volcanism occurs where two plates are converging on one another. One plate containing oceanic lithosphere descends beneath the adjacent plate, thus consuming the oceanic lithosphere into the earth's mantle. This on-going process is called subduction.
