Question
the convergent boundary along the pacific coast experienced a mild earthquake at the subduction of the ocean plate and the continental plate near the continental slope. what would most likely occur as a result? (1 point) warmer weather shallower ocean depths turbidity current methane release
An earthquake at a subduction zone near the continental slope can dislodge sediment. Turbidity currents are underwater currents of sediment - laden water. Warmer weather is unrelated to this earthquake scenario. Shallowing ocean depths would not be a direct result of a mild earthquake at this location. Methane release is not the most immediate and likely consequence compared to a turbidity current which is a common result of underwater sediment disturbance from such geological events.
