What is the zones places where the seafloor is forced under continents to drift?
Subduction zones are where the seafloor is forced under continental plates.
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 zone formed where two oceanic plates collide?
zone of subduction
A region where oceanic plates sink down?
Subduction Zone
What forms where two oceanic plates collide?
subduction zone

How a subduction zone forms?
When two plates move together (at least one must be oceanic crust), one will sink beneath the other. The result is that a subduction zone forms between the two plates at the location where they meet.
What forms when two tectoinc plates collide?
Usually either a mountain range, or a subduction zone.
What is a region where oceanic plates sink down into the asthenosphere?
Most notable is the so-called 'Ring of Fire', an area encircling the Pacific Ocean where oceanic crustal plates are subducting under continental plates and less dense oceanic plates.
What is the zones places where the seafloor is forced under continents to drift?
Subduction zones are where the seafloor is forced under continental plates.
Where are continental volcanic arcs found?
on the overriding plate near a subduction zone
Ocean convergence produces what?
Ocean convergence with continental plates result in subduction zone. Oceanic with oceanic plates convergence forms volcanic mountain.
Plates move together at a what?
Subduction zone.
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 zone formed where two oceanic plates collide?
zone of subduction
As the oceanic plate slides beneath the overriding plate bends what is produced here?
