SUBDUCTION ZONE


The Subduction Zone is created by when one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate. The plates are constantly moving so when they subduct it is beneficial in many ways. They create formations such as mountain ranges,ocean trenches, earthquakes, and volcanoes. When these two plates subduct one of them is younger and and less dense then older plates so they can converge. The Subduction Zone has high activity which can form earthquakes deadly to humans and volcanoes than can be helpful to humans. So it can be helpful and dangerous to some humans.
