where do subduction zones otter occur A where two oceanic plates are moving away from each other, B where an oceanic is moving toward a continental plate, C where a continental plate is being split up into two parts, D where two continentals' plates are colliding

1 answer

Subduction zones typically occur in option B, where an oceanic plate is moving toward a continental plate. In a subduction zone, the denser oceanic plate is forced underneath the less dense continental plate, leading to geological features such as deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.

Option A describes divergent boundaries where plates move away from each other, C describes rift zones where a continental plate is being split up, and D refers to continental collision zones where two continental plates collide, which do not typically involve subduction.
