The area where a plate descends is a?
subduction zone
Which type of landform develop at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another?
The landform that develops at plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath another is known as a volcanic islands arc.
What are deep ocean trenches associated with?
Deep ocean trenches are associated with subduction zones where an ocean plate descends into the asthenosphere. The Ocean plate is heavier than a Continental plate which causes the Ocean plate to slide beneath the Continental plate. As the Ocean plate descends, a deep ocean trench is formed.

A volcanic island arc
What is a subduction in geological terms?
it when one of tectonic plates (lithosphere) descends under another plate (asthenosphere)

Area where an ocean plate descends into the upper mantle?
Subduction Zone
What process is triggered as the slab descends beneath the other plate?
Subduction.
What kind of plate or part of a plate is most like to descend into the interior at the subduction zone?
The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone

The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone

A volcanic island arc
Places where the seafloor is forced under continental plates?
The region where the seafloor is forced beneath the continental plate is called a subduction zone. When the seafloor descends down it produces a deep-ocean trench.
A crest or projection on the superior surface of the ethmoid bone?
The perpendicular plate, which forms the superior part of the septum, descends from the cribiform plate of the ethmoid bone.
