What is a small piece of land that is scraped off descending ocean floor at a subduction zone called?
It is called a terrane (more specifically, a tectonostratigraphic terrane). An example of these sutured chunks of oceanic plate is found in south central South Carolina.
What is an example of a terrane?
In geology, terrane is a shortened term for tectonostratigraphic terrane. Examples of a terrane would be Lhasa Terrane in Tibet and Pearya Terrane in the United States.

What is the difference between terrane and terrain?
"Terrain" refers to a topographic or geographic landscape configuration--for example, a "hilly terrain," or a "wooded terrain." "Terrane" refers to a lighologic or geologic areal expanse--for example, a "metamorphic terrane," or a "basaltic terrane."
