Where two plates collide
What else can I help you with?
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.
What occurs at subduction zones?
Trenches
What is a subducation zone?
A subduction zone is a place that occurs between two tectonic plates. It is the site where these tectonic plates have collided.
Where does subduction happen?
subduction occurs where 2 continents meet or where the tectonic plates meet. :)
What boundary does subduction take place?
Subduction takes place at destructive plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate into the mantle. This process occurs at convergent boundaries, where plates are moving toward each other. Subduction zones are marked by deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs.
Areas where earthquake occurs?
subduction zones
What occurs at convergent plate boundarie?
subduction
What term is used to describe the location where sinking of a plate occurs?
subduction zone
Where does Subduction take place on the ocean floor?
Subduction of the ocean floor takes place at trenches.
Where is the place where oceanic crust bends back into the mantle?
The place where oceanic crust bends back into the mantle is called a subduction zone. This occurs when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, often creating deep-sea trenches and volcanic activity. Subduction zones are common around the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Were does subduction take place?
Subduction takes place primarily at convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. This process occurs in areas such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, where oceanic plates are being subducted beneath continental plates, leading to volcanism and seismic activity.
Is subduction divergent?
Subduction is a process that takes place at convergent boundaries.
