subduction is the answer.
What else can I help you with?
What is the geological process by which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle?
subduction
What is the process called In which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle called?
i think that its subduction ...
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.
What is the process called when the sea floor sinks into the mantle?
Subduction.
What is the process by which the oceans floor sinks into the mantle is called?
Subduction.
What is process the ocean floor sinks?
your answer is subduction
What is a result in the process where the ocean floor sinks beneath the crust and back into the mantle?
The process where the ocean floor sinks beneath the crust and back into the mantle is known as subduction. This is the result of the collision of two tectonic plates. This in turn results in the formation of fold mountains and volcanism (such as that which occurs in the Western US - for example Mt. St. Helens and the Western coast of South America).
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 that sinks 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 returning to the mantle is known as subduction. This occurs when one tectonic plate moves under another and is forced into the mantle due to gravitational forces. Subduction is a key component of the Earth's tectonic cycle and contributes to geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic activity.
How fast Old ocean floor sinks toward the mantle at what speed?
The old ocean floor typically sinks toward the mantle at a rate of about 2 to 5 centimeters per year. This process occurs at subduction zones, where tectonic plates converge, and the denser, older oceanic crust is forced beneath lighter continental crust or younger oceanic crust. The sinking of the ocean floor contributes to the recycling of Earth's materials and plays a crucial role in plate tectonics.
Why are the oldest parts of the ocean floor no older than about 200 million years.?
Because the oldest parts reach the continental crust and then the ocean floor sinks beneath the continental crust, into the mantle.
Is magnetic stripes on the ocean floor the places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
it is right in your book soo... you should be able to answer this
