The most likely result of a mild earthquake occurring at a convergent boundary where an oceanic plate is subducting beneath a continental plate would be a turbidity current. Such earthquakes can trigger underwater landslides or disturbances in sediment, leading to the movement of sediment-laden water down the continental slope, which characterizes turbidity currents.
The convergent boundary along the Pacific coast experienced a mild earthquake at the subduction of the ocean plate and the continental plate near the continental slope. What would MOST likely occur as a result?
