An oceanic plate can descend beneath another oceanic plate - Japan, Indonesia, and the Aleutian Islands are examples of this type of subduction. Alternately, an oceanic plate can descend beneath a continental plate - South America, Central America, and the Cascade Volcanoes are an example of this type of subduction.

What are two examples of coastal mountains created by oceanic continental subduction?
two examples are the Juan de fuca and the north American plate.
What are two examples of coastal mountains created by oceanic-continental subduction?

What is a synonym for subduction?
A synonym for subduction is decrease.
How do you spell subduction?
That is the correct spelling of "subduction."
What is the process in which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle is called?
The process in which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle is called subduction. This occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate slides beneath another. Subduction zones are associated with deep-sea trenches and volcanic activity.
What is it called when two plates slide one under the other?
It is known as subduction.
Which is required for an ocean trench to form?
Subduction.
Where can subduction volcanos be found?
the subduction volcano is found where
Is mount Cleveland a subduction zone?
Moun Cleveland formed as a result of a subduction zone, but is not a subduction zone in and of itself. A subduction zone is a feature that forms volcanoes, not a kind of volcano.
What is the name of the process where ocean crust sinks back toward the mantle?
It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.
Location of frequent earthquakes at the subduction zone?
Frequent earthquakes occur at subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another. These earthquakes are caused by the intense pressure and friction between the plates as they move against each other. Examples of subduction zones with frequent earthquakes include the Pacific Ring of Fire where the Pacific Plate is subducting beneath other plates.
The area where a plate descends is a?
subduction zone
