Where is the place where oceanic crust bends back into the mantle?
This is known as a subduction zone.
What is the difference between subduction zone and collision zone destrutive plate margin?
A subduction zone and a collision zone are the same place, a collision just happens earlier, when the crusts of the two plates are interacting. Later, when the crust of one plate is being forced under the crust of another plate into the mantle, it becomes a subduction zone.
What kid of a zone is it where a continental place and an oceanic plate collide forcing the oceanic plate under?
A subduction zone
What is a region where oceanic plates sink down into the asthenosphere?
Most notable is the so-called 'Ring of Fire', an area encircling the Pacific Ocean where oceanic crustal plates are subducting under continental plates and less dense oceanic plates.
What is the meaning of subducation zone?
A subduction zone is an area on Earth where two tectonic plates move towards one another and subduction occurs. Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the Earth's crust, as the plates converge
Is mount Cleveland a subduction zone?
Moun Cleveland formed as a result of a subduction zone, but is not a subduction zone in and of itself. A subduction zone is a feature that forms volcanoes, not a kind of volcano.
What does not happen near a subduction zone?
anything can happen at a subduction zone

What does subduction have to do with geology?
Subduction is part of the geological process of plate tectonics. A subduction zone is a place where the oceanic plate is sinking back in to the mantle (usually at the edge of a continental plate.
Is volcan De fuego related to a hot spot or a subduction zone?
Subduction zone
Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.
What is a subducation zone?
A subduction zone is a place that occurs between two tectonic plates. It is the site where these tectonic plates have collided.
What is the place where the oceanic crust is forced under the continental crust?
This is called a subduction zone.
The place where two plates collide and one goes on top the other?
The subduction zone.
What is a region where oceanic plates sink down into the asthenosphere?
Most notable is the so-called 'Ring of Fire', an area encircling the Pacific Ocean where oceanic crustal plates are subducting under continental plates and less dense oceanic plates.
