A subduction zone is a type of plate boundary where the denser of the two tectonic plates travelling towards each other will 'slide', or subduct, beneath the other.

∙ 12y agoIn geology, subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the Earth's mantle, as the plates converge.

Tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally?
Transform boundary
What type of boundary is the mariana trench?
convergent boundary
What boundary seafloor destroyed?
At a convergent boundary. if seafloor is created at a divergent boundary then it must be the opposite (at a convergent boundary) where is being destroyed.
What is the plate boundary of mt.veniaminof of Alaska?
the plate boundary at the mount is a colliding plate boundary
What type of plate movement occurs at a transform plate boundary?
Divergent Boundary - Slides apart.Convergent Boundary - Collides.Transform Boundary - Slips past.
What is the driving fore behind the pacific ring of fire?
There is no "driving force". The tectonic plates created an oceanic/oceanic subvergent boundary where underwater volcanoes formed. The magma comes up through faults and cracks in the lithosphere from the astenosphere and comes out of the volcanoes. I suppose you could say the "driving force" is the heat from the center of the earth heating the rock to a liquid state.
