At deep-ocean trenches, subduction allows part of the ocean floor to sink back into the mantle. The ocean floor does not just keep spreading. Instead, it sinks beneath deep underwater canyons called deep-ocean trenches. Where there are trenches, subduction takes place.

A convergent boundary between a continental plate and an oceanic plate results in a ocean trench because the basalt in the oceanic plate is denser than the granite in the continental plate, causing the oceanic plate to sink underneath, into the mantle.
