The area where a plate descends is a?
subduction zone
How does a subduction zone form and what are the key processes involved in its creation?
A subduction zone forms when one tectonic plate moves beneath another plate. This happens because the denser oceanic plate sinks below the less dense continental plate. The key processes involved in the creation of a subduction zone include the convergence of tectonic plates, the sinking of the denser plate into the mantle, and the generation of earthquakes and volcanic activity along the subduction zone.
What term is used to describe the location where sinking of a plate occurs?
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 forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate a. an ocean basin b. an ocean ridge c. a subduction zone d. a rift valley?
C. subduction zone
what happens to a convergent boundary?
a subduction zone forms
Is a subduction zone a plate boundaries?
A subduction zone is where one plate is being subducted ( pulled down) under another plate, No it is not a plate boundary but it is were it happens. hope this helps
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.
The area where a plate descends is a?

Which convergent boundaries do not have a subduction zone?
A continent to continent convergent boundary does not have a subduction zone.

What does not happen near a subduction zone?
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions do not usually happen away from a subduction zone. Subduction zones are known for their intense seismic activity and volcanic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates.
Is island on a subduction zone?
no

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 forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate a. an ocean basin b. an ocean ridge c. a subduction zone d. a rift valley?
C. subduction zone
