Subduction zones like southern Alaska’s occur throughout the world, and the 1964 Alaska earthquake was the first to be generally understood by earth scientists as having occurred on a subduction zone interface: the slip was along the gently dipping boundary, or “megathrust fault,” between the denser downgoing oceanic plate

www.unisdr.orgmay manifest as regions of subduction, where oceanic crust is forced down beneath either the continental plate (e.g. west coast of South America) or of younger oceanic crust. Convergent boundaries may also produce regions of continental collision resulting in tectonic compression (e.g. the Himalayas).
