What is the process in which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle is called?
subduction is the answer.
What is the process of the ocean floor sinking beneath a deep ocean trench and back into the mantle known as?
It is called subduction.
How can you use subduction in a sentence?
a deep ocean
What are the types of metamorphism and their location?
Contact = Close to a hot spot Dynamic = Along a transform boundary Impact = Near a crater Regional = At deep subduction areas
What are the type of metamorphism to its location?
Contact - Close to a hot spot Dynamic - Along a transform boundary Impact - Near a crater Regional - At deep subduction areas
What deep ocean feature form at subduction zones?
Trenches are deep ocean features of subduction zones.

What are the deepest part of the ocean floor?
The deepest parts of the ocean floor are caused by plate tectonic subduction and occur where the sea floor sinks back into the mantle in a subduction zone. These areas are called deep sea trenches and the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific is the deepest known point in Earth's oceans.
What deep feature is found at subduction zone?
Trench
What process produceces deep sea trenches?
Subduction.
What do you call the deep cracks in the earths crust along which the crust shifted?
Trenches if they are in zones of subduction. Falt lines are in areas of shifting plates (rubbing against or parallel)
Areas where earthquake occurs?
subduction zones
