Earthquakes and Subduction Zones Lab Amy Paret Mrs. Igo 9th Grade Periods 3 and 4 Even Date: 2/14/13 Background Research: This lab uses earthquake data to construct profiles of two convergent boundaries: the Tonga Trench and the Peru-Chile Trench. Where two tectonic plates converge, if one or both of the plates is an oceanic lithosphere, a subduction zone will form. When crust is formed at a mid-ocean ridge, it is hot and buoyant meaning it has a low density. As it spreads away from the ridge and

this foreign phenomenon are Tonga from The Sign of the Four, Beppo from The Six Napoleons, and Enoch Drebber and Joseph Stangerson from A Study in Scarlet. Tonga and Beppo are described as physically abnormal and mentally inferior.
