Kuril–Kamchatka subduction system

E48350

The Kuril–Kamchatka subduction system is a major convergent plate boundary in the northwest Pacific where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the Okhotsk Plate, generating intense seismic activity and extensive volcanism along the Kuril Islands and Kamchatka Peninsula.
