what is a fault
(of a rock formation) be broken by a fault or faults.
what happens along a subduction zone
Earthquakes and volcanoes, also known as geohazards, are two examples of what can happen at a subduction zone. The geohazards are caused when an oceanic plate slides under a continental plate or another oceanic plate. This process is called subduction.
what do most scientists believe is the driving force behind plate tectonics
For much of the last quarter century, the leading theory of the driving force behind tectonic plate motions envisaged large scale convection currents in the upper mantle, which can be transmitted through the asthenosphere.
how do mountains form
Movements of tectonic plates create volcanoes along the plate boundaries, which erupt and form mountains. A volcanic arc system is a series of volcanoes that form near a subduction zone where the crust of a sinking oceanic plate melts.
that all i got sorry i hope this helps a little
