yes it is. because of the extream heat it makes the plates plastic like.

What do you call places where rocks have been compressed into bends by coliding plates?
its called a fold (or flult)
A long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends down toward the mantle is called?
subduction
Where is the place where oceanic crust bends back into the mantle?
This is known as a subduction zone.
Describe how faults and folds form in Earth's crust?
There are a few ways. The Tectonic plates can rub against each other causing friction, with folding, one of the plates bends down into the mantle of the arth causing the other plate to eventually snap back up (These are the Strongest Earthquakes). Then with faulting, the plates pull apart.
Subduction occurs where the oceanic crust bends down towards the mantle at a?
deep ocean trench.
What is the plastic-like part of the mantle?
The asthenosphere is made of soft rock and bends like plastic in the mantle.
A long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends toward the mantle is called what?
A long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends down toward the mantle is called an ocean trench. This is caused by two plates pulling apart.
What is made of soft rock and bends like plastic in the mantle?
The asthenosphere.

What is the part of the mantle that is made of soft rockthat bends like plastic?
asthenosphere!
What part of the mantle is made of soft rock that bends like plastic.?
A portion of the upper mantle known as the asthenosphere.

A long narrow and very deep canyon where the ocean floor bends down toward the mantle is called?
subduction
Part of earth's interior that flows like plastic?
Partially molten, plastic like, flowing layer located below the solid part of Earth's mantle is the Asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mechanically weak and ductiley deforming region of the upper mantle.

This is known as a subduction zone.
