As the ocean floor spreads other parts plunge into the mantle What is this process called?

Subduction .
Why do scientist look to the ocean floor to research the mantle?
Why do scientists look to the ocean floor to research the mantle? Because magma from the mantle flows out of active volcanoes on the ocean floor. These underwater volcanoes have given scientists many clues about the composition of the mantle.
How is new rock added to the ocean floor?
New rock is added to the ocean floor through a process called seafloor spreading, where magma rises from the Earth's mantle at mid-ocean ridges, cools and solidifies to form new oceanic crust. This process helps expand the ocean floor and contributes to the movement of tectonic plates.
What process is shown occurring at C and what does it occur?
In a process taking tens of millions of years, part of the ocean floor sinks back into the mantle at deep ocean trenches.

Why do scientists look at the ocean floor to research the mantle?
We look at the ocean floor to study the mantle because the ocean floor is made from rocks that were once part of the mantle but have be changed. These changes can be undone to a certain degree, and can allow us to study at the very least the major changes of the shallow mantle.
What thick layer covers the ocean floor?
The mantle
What is below the ocean floor?
Crust mantle core
