it i called a subduction zone when a plate sinks below another

What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?
subduction boundary!!!
What boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?
It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).
What type of boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate?
a convergent boundary. The oceanic plate is then subducted under the continental plate because it is denser. This subduction creates earthquakes and volcanoes
Which type of boundaries is seafloor created by?
Seafloor is created at divergent plate boundaries called the mid-ocean ridges.
What is called the transition between the shelf and the deep seafloor?
continental slopes
Places where the seafloor is forced under continental plates?
The region where the seafloor is forced beneath the continental plate is called a subduction zone. When the seafloor descends down it produces a deep-ocean trench.

Where oceanic crust collides with continental crust is the?
This type of plate boundary is a convergent boundary where subduction of the denser oceanic slab into the mantle will occur. Because of this it may also be called a destructive margin.
Places where tectonic plates come together?
Places where plates crash or crunch together are called convergent boundaries.
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 a continental rift also called?
continental plate? divergent boundary? convergent boundary? continental drift?
What is it called when two tectonic plates colide?
It's referred to as a Convergent Boundary If 2 Continental Plates --> Mountains If 2 Oceanic Plates --> Subduction of Heavier (older) Plate If Continental-Oceanic --> Oceanic Plate slides under the Continental Plate (Subduction of Oceanic)
Aera where an oceanic plate goes down into the mantle?
A subduction zone at a convergent plate boundary. Undersea trenches are formed where the oceanic plate subducts, and volcanism and earthquakes may result from the partial melting and downward movement of the subducting crust.
