For example, sections of earth's crust can come together and collide (a convergent plate boundary), spread apart (a divergent plate boundary), or slide past one another.The motion of the lithosphere as it plunges through the mantle causes the quakes ( figure below).
A convergent boundary is an area on earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide.The depth outlines the subducting plate.The subduction of one plate under another can result in deep trenches and.
Divergent boundaries create new crust, while convergent boundaries, where plates collide, can form mountains, island arcs, earthquakes, and volcanoes.This convergent boundary has a trench and mantle wedge and frequently, a volcanic arc.
One plate eventually slides beneath the other causing a process known as subduction.A cross section of earthquake epicenters.Rates of motions of the major plates range from less than 1 cm/y to more than 10 cm/y.
There is commonly an ocean trench along the boundary as the crust bends downwards.Often it is the older and colder plate that is denser and subducts beneath the younger and warmer plate.
Earthquakes at convergent plate boundaries mark the location of the subducting lithosphere.An example is the cascadia subduction zone offshore of washington, oregon, and northern california (see figure 4.19 below).For example, the nazca plate has created the andes mountain range.

Murray's Farewell At Wimbledon Starts With Loss
The uncertainty around the future of Pakistan white-ball captain Babar Azam as well as the fate of the selection committee lingers as head coach Gary Kirsten and selector Wahab Riaz submitted their tour reports to PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi following Pakistan's disappointing T20 World Cup campaign. Pakistan were dumped out of the tournament after just three games, with defeats to the USA and India proving terminal to their campaign.
The end of Pakistan's World Cup was followed by a fierce - and a somewhat frenzied - backlash in the country. The selection committee of seven, widely viewed as being de facto headed by Wahab, was one of its central targets, while a perceived tactical ineptitude and culture of conservatism under the captaincy of Babar has also come under scrutiny. There remain unanswered questions about the selection of the squad itself, particularly around the continued non-selection of specialist legspinner Abrar Ahmed despite Shadab Khan's indifferent form.
However, as ESPNcricinfo reported last month, the PCB has chosen to take its time before launching into any major decisions. Pakistan do not have a white-ball engagement until November, allowing the PCB to wait till Kirsten and Wahab - who was also the senior team manager for the tournament - handed in their reports.
It is understood the PCB remains open to a change of captaincy, though sticking with Babar has also not been conclusively ruled out. This partly stems from a lack of obvious candidates to replace him; when Naqvi decided to sack Shaheen Shah Afridi, he ultimately returned to Babar - who had only been replaced a few weeks earlier. That was following yet another poor showing at an ICC event - the ODI World Cup in India in 2023.
Now that Kirsten and Wahab have submitted their reports, any decisions regarding the "surgery" Naqvi had reportedly been prepared to conduct do theoretically move closer. However, the PCB has consistently refused to put a timeline on any action, insisting they wish to make a considered decision rather than a quick one.
