Where does subduction of the ocean floor take place?
deep-ocean trench
Where on the ocean floor does oil drilling take place?
Oil drilling often occurs on the seabed, that is, the very bottom of the ocean.
Were does subduction take place?
Subduction occurs when an oceanic plate slides under a continental plate. When the oceanic plate does this, it descends into the mantle, and the place where the subduction begins forms a deep-ocean trench.
Do subduction take place when two oceanic crust meet?
No subduction doesn't take place when two oceanic crust meet. When two oceanic crusts meet, it is called a divergent boundary. Crustal features vary such as one like mid-ocean rdges. Subducting takes place when an OCEANIC and CONTINENTAL plate meet not when two oceanic plates meet.

What to do in case of a tsunami?
# Do not run towards the newly exposed ocean floor # Do not run towards the newly exposed ocean floor # Do not run towards the newly exposed ocean floor # Do not run towards the newly exposed ocean floor # Head for high ground immediately # Do not try and collect small valubles prior to heading out. The ocean will take care of any thieves, or it will take care of people who hang around collecting their bits. # Do not run towards the newly exposed ocean floor # Do not run towards the newly exposed ocean floor # Do not run towards the newly exposed ocean floor # Do not run towards the newly exposed ocean floor # If there is a traffic jam, run to the highest building and wait.
Where does the oldest rock take place at on the ocean floor in sea-floor spreading?
Far from the mid oceanic ridge, near the continental margin (oldest oceanic rock ages 200 mya)
How do you get back to the tenth floor in the ocean kings temple after you leave the temple?
in the beginning of the temple of the ocean king, there is a yellow light, it will take you to the 6th floor then, proceed to the 10th floor. :) :) :)
What happens to an oceanic plate as it pushes against another plate?
When oceanic plates push against one another they cause subduction or adduction earthquakes. These plate tectonics take place on ocean floors all over the world.
Where do stronger earthquakes take place?
Earthquakes take place primarily on fault lines. For example, there is a major fault line off the western coast of South America. Subduction occurs here due to the ocean floor being of denser rock than the continent. Thus, the ocean plate goes under the continent of South America, which causes massive earthquakes and a mountain chain to form known as the Andes. Peru and Chile are notorious for some the worlds most powerful earthquakes. The West coast of the US is also known for strong earthquakes due to a similar feature.
Where do raptors migrartion take place?

How did scientist first map the ocean floor?
They pay the divers to go to the end of the ocean and measure the ocean floor depth before divers dive they take a long endless string keep it up the surface then take it al the way down and cut to where it ends so that when they are finished they measure
