In the process of subduction a lithospheric plate descends into the?
mantle
Area where an ocean plate descends into the upper mantle?
Subduction Zone
What process is triggered as the slab descends beneath the other 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
Which type of landforms develops at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another?
Ocean Trenches, Island Arcs, Volcanic Mountain Chains, Magmatic Arcs.
What is a region where a plate descends?
subduction zone
The area where a plate descends is a?
subduction zone
Which type of landform develop at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another?
The landform that develops at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another is known as a volcanic islands arc.
In the process of subduction a lithospheric plate descends into the?
mantle
What are ocean trenches associated with?
Deep ocean trenches are associated with subduction zones where an ocean plate descends into the asthenosphere. The Ocean plate is heavier than a Continental plate which causes the Ocean plate to slide beneath the Continental plate. As the Ocean plate descends, a deep ocean trench is formed.

Places where the seafloor is forced under continental plates?
The region where the seafloor is forced beneath the continental plate is called a subduction zone. When the seafloor descends down it produces a deep-ocean trench.
