What happens to the earths crust at a subbduction zone?

In a subduction zone, an oceanic plate moves under another plate (whether continental or oceanic). Sometimes pressure builds up, and earthquakes occur.

Is there any place on earth where materiel from the surface moves into earths interior and some of it melts?

Yes. Such areas are called subduction zones. They develop where two tectonic plates converge and at least one plate is made of oceanic crust. The denser oceanic plate sinks into the mantle.

What happens when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate and sinks?

When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate in a process called subduction. This creates a deep oceanic trench. As the oceanic plate sinks, it heats up, melts, and forms magma that rises to the surface, leading to volcanic activity.


What happens when a plate of oceanic crust collides with a plate of oceanic crust?

The oceanic plate is made of denser (and thinner) rock than the continental crust, so the oceanic plate gets subducted (pushed underneath) where it descends and gets melted by geothermal heat.

What happens when a plate of oceanic crust collides with a plate of Continetal crust why?

What happens at oceanic-oceanic subduction?

The plate with cooler, denser crust sinks under the other plate, forming a trench. There, the oceanic crust sinks down back into the mantle.
