WEBOceanic ridges and subduction zones disturb the surface heat flow and can trigger higher surface heat flow and higher temperatures in the subsurface over hundreds of kilometers from the tectonic plate edges depending on the local geologic context.
Introduction to Subduction Zones: Amazing Events in Subduction Zones
WEBSep 7, 2020 · Overview. The Earth’s many tectonic plates can be thousands of miles across and underlie both continents and oceans. These plates collide, slide past, and move apart from each other. Where they collide and one plate is thrust beneath another (a subduction zone), the most powerful earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and landslides occur.
Subduction zone | Plate Tectonics, Oceanic Crust & Volcanism
WEBsubduction zone, oceanic trench area marginal to a continent in which, according to the theory of plate tectonics, older and denser seafloor underthrusts the continental mass, dragging downward into the Earth’s upper mantle the accumulated trench sediments. The subduction zone, accordingly, is the antithesis of the mid-oceanic ridge.

WEBSimplified diagram of a convergent boundary. A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction.The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the …
