Subduction and sea floor spreading are both a result of the movement of the tectonic plates.

Plate Tectonics
Plate Tectonics
Rising materials causes rifting; sinking material causes subduction.
Convection Currents: The difference in temperature between the upper and the lower mantle creates these currents that causes magma to rise up through the mantle and out the crust.
The process of an ocean plate meeting with land plate and pushing under is called subduction. This process causes serious mountain building and seismic activity.

Sea floor spreading is where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then moves away from the ridge. Subduction is when one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate. Hope this helped :)

Rising materials causes rifting; sinking material causes subduction.
Convective flows of molten rock beneath the Earth's crust causes tectonic plates to spread apart in one area and to sink or be subducted beneath another plate at the opposite edge of the plate.

subduction zones, ex. maranas trench
the disturbment of the earth's tectonic plates causes an earthquake. It basically causes a couple of plates to crash.

the spreading apart of the 2 boundaries.
