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 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 the process of the ocean floor sinking beneath a deep ocean trench and back into the mantle known as?
The process of the ocean floor sinking beneath a deep ocean trench and back into the mantle is known as subduction. This occurs at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another due to differences in density. Subduction zones are associated with volcanic activity and the formation of mountain ranges.
How can you use subduction in a sentence?
Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate moves beneath another plate at a convergent boundary. An example sentence could be: "The earthquake was caused by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate."
Subduction occurs when?
It can occur in a subduction zone.
Means the ocean floor is pulled under the continent?
This occurs in a subduction zone.
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 zone appears when an ocean pate sinks beneath a continental plate?
This is called the subduction zone.

If subduction occurs faster than oceanic crust can be created an ocean will expand or decrease?
Expand
What occurs when an ocean plate sinks below a continental plate?
Subduction into the upper mantle and melting.
SUbduction occurs where the oceanic crust bends down toward the mantle at a(an)?
deep ocean trench.
What is the region where oceanic lithosphere sinks into the asthenosphere?
This process occurs at subduction zones, where one tectonic plate descends beneath another plate into the asthenosphere. Subduction zones are typically associated with deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
What is the definition of ocean ocean collision?
The definition of ocean continental collision means the continental crust and the ocean's crust collide with one another. A subduction is formed when the collision occurs.
When two oceanic plates collide it creates?
when two oceanic plates collide they create a deep-ocean trench, at deep-ocean trenches subduction occurs.
Which is required for an ocean trench to form?
Subduction.
