What process is triggered as the slab descends beneath the other plate?
Subduction.
The deflection of one lithospheric plate beneath another plate with which it is colliding is called what?
This process is known as subduction.
What is the downward movement into the asthenosphere of a lithospheric plate?
Subduction.
What kind of plate or part of a plate is most like to descend into the interior at subduction zone?
The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone
Area where an ocean plate descends into the upper mantle?
Subduction Zone
What is the process of the lithospheric plate descending under another?
Subduction.

Subduction.

This process is known as subduction.
At which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.
How was the cascade range formed?
The cascade range was formed by subduction which is the process by which one lithospheric plate is forced beneath another lithospheric plate, usually along a convergent plate boundary
The area where a plate descends is a?
subduction zone
What is a region where a plate descends?
subduction zone
What is the downward movement into the asthenosphere of a lithospheric plate?
Subduction.
What kind of plate or part of a plate is most like to descend into the interior at the subduction zone?
The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone
What kind of plate or part of a plate is most like to descend into the interior at subduction zone?
The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone
Area where an ocean plate descends into the upper mantle?
Subduction Zone
What would be expected to result from a collision between a continental lithospheric plate and a oceanic lithospheric plate?
Typically the less dense continental plate would stay afloat while the denser oceanic plate would be submerged below. This can result in volcanic eruptions at the subduction zone due to oceanic crust undergoing increased pressure and temperatures as it descends below the continental crust.
