Wadati-Benioff zones, part of these regions, are areas that often develop beneath volcanic islands.
Wadati-Benioff zones, part of these regions, are areas that often develop beneath volcanic islands. These regions are home to the deepest residing life forms on Earth since they are responsible for creating warm trenches (*) on the sea floor. They form when lithosphere mantle is denser than asthenospheric mantle, and can be thought of as the opposite of divergent boundaries. FTP, identify these areas where one tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plate.
