One plate eventually slides beneath the other causing a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Benioff Zone.]]> 2019-03-30 21:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/natalia_kawalkowska/7b4v8urw2tek/wish/346824630 natalia_kawalkowska https://padlet.com/natalia_kawalkowska/7b4v8urw2tek/wish/346824939 2019-03-30 21:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/natalia_kawalkowska/7b4v8urw2tek/wish/346824939 natalia_kawalkowska https://padlet.com/natalia_kawalkowska/7b4v8urw2tek/wish/346825011 2019-03-30 21:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/natalia_kawalkowska/7b4v8urw2tek/wish/346825011 natalia_kawalkowska https://padlet.com/natalia_kawalkowska/7b4v8urw2tek/wish/346825098 Transform boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past each other.
