This means that electricians are experiencing a massive influx of job opportunities, and their salaries are growing along with the construction fields. It seems that being an electrician is a relatively secure and safe job at the moment, as they are needed in both recovering and depressed sectors.
Transform boundaries, where plates slide alongside each other. A subduction zone is something that happens only with convergent boundaries. Subduction is where, after colliding, one plate sinks below the other. And a subduction zone is the area where two plates are sandwiched on top of each other, like a tectonic BLT. Features & Location of Subduction Zones. Subduction zones are places of high activity.
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.
