At what type of plate boundary do compression and subduction take place?

Asked by Elizagabygallon

Answer (2)

Subduction and Compression would take place at a Convergent plate

Answered by brittanycandace | 2024-06-10

Compression and subduction take place at convergent plate boundaries, specifically in ocean-continent and ocean-ocean scenarios. These boundaries lead to the formation of trenches, mountain ranges, and volcanic activity due to the collision and sinking of plates. Understanding these interactions is key to studying geological formations and seismic activities.
