In the process of subduction a lithospheric plate descends into the?
mantle
What kind of plate or part of a plate is most like to descend into the interior at subduction zone?
The subducted plate descends into the mantle at 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.
Which of these is a zone in which one plate is pushed down into the mantle underneath another plate?
Subduction
Area where an ocean plate descends into the upper mantle?
Subduction Zone
In the process of subduction a lithospheric plate descends into the?
mantle
What kind of plate or part of a plate is most like to descend into the interior at the subduction zone?
The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone

The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone

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.
What is the name of the process where ocean crust sinks back toward the mantle?
It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.
What is an area where an oceanic plate goes into the mantle?
subduction zone
Which of these is a zone in which one plate is pushed down into the mantle underneath another plate?
Subduction
What type of plate boundary leads to subduction?
Convergent plate boundaries lead to subduction. Subduction occurs when one tectonic plate rides over the edge of another tectonic plate which sinks into the mantle as they converge.
Area where an ocean plate descends into the upper mantle?
Subduction Zone
What occurs when an ocean plate sinks below a continental plate?
Subduction into the upper mantle and melting.
What takes place when one plate is forced down into the mantle beneath another plate?
Subduction! :)
What is it called when two plates slide one under the other?
It is known as subduction.
