Both continental and oceanic crusts are used in the process of subduction, unless you are talking about see floor spreading, then only oceanic crust is used

What is the of where the crust goes back down into the earth?
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 is the name of the are where the crust goes back down into the earth?
Subduction zone
What are the two layers of the continental crust called?
The 2 layers of the continental crust are oceanic crust and the land crust
What is the name of the area where the crust goes back down into earth?
subduction zone
What is the opening in the oceanic crust?
Subduction Zone.
Does subduction create or destroy oceanic crust?
In a subduction zone the crust is forced inot the mantle where it is eventually melted and destroyed
Why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at the subduction zone?
density
What is the place where the oceanic crust is forced under the continental crust?
This is called a subduction zone.
What is the of where the crust goes back down into the earth?
subduction zone
What are typical characteristics of subduction zone?
Where oceanic crust meets continental crust and earthquakes can occur.
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 happens at a subduction convergent boundary?
The oceanic crust (the denser crust) is subducted under the lighter crust which basically means that it goes under the upper crust as they meet so they don't crash into each other like at a collision zone.
What is the name of the are where the crust goes back down into the earth?
Subduction zone
What are places where oceanic crust sinks back the the mantle?
A "subduction zone".
What is the of the area where crust goes back down into the Earth?
