The truth or falsity of moral judgments, or their justification, is not absolute or universal, but is relative to the traditions, convictions, or practices of a group of persons. A subjective statement is one that refers to a subject. Anything else is objective.
Quick Answer. Subduction is a geological process that takes place at the boundaries between tectonic plates in which one plate is forced underneath another. Subduction occurs when the massive pressures of entire continental or oceanic tectonic plates collide, over the course of millennia, and one slowly is subsumed underneath the other.
1 First, in most subduction zones, large earthquakes occur at the interface between the two plates, at depths ranging from the earth's surface down to about 600 km. 2  This region, called the Benioff Zone , is used to locate the subducting plate, as shown for the case of Japan on the left-hand side of Figure 2. Second, in most subduction zones, there is an inland volcanic arc running parallel to the trench. 2  But in southern Mexico, the volcanic arc bends away from the trench, at about a 15Â° angle (see Figure 1). 3  Finally, in most subduction zones, giant earthquakes occur every few hundred years or so.
