Water seeps into rock cracks and dissolves minerals there. The solution travels through cracks in the rocks, eventually concentrating into large crystals."
The process above is a description oSubduction zones are formed when oceanic plates slide beneath continental plates. The process leads to the oceanic plate being forced into the Earth's mantle. This can result in the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic activity at the surface.
Oceanic lithosphere is denser than continental lithosphere, so it is more likely to be subducted during a collision. The downward force exerted by the dense oceanic plate causes it to sink beneath the less dense continental plate. Furthermore, oceanic lithosphere is typically thinner and more malleable, making it easier to be forced beneath the continental lithosphere.
This happens at a plate boundary. The oceanic plate subducts (sinks) under the continental plate, because it is heavier. (the oceanic plate is made of basalt and the continental plate is made of granite.) This happens at a destructive plate margin. it is called this because part if the oceanic plate is destroyed, because it melts as it sinks.
The type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another is called a convergent boundary. This process is known as subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other due to differences in density.

material from the Earth's surface is returned to the interior.
A subduction zone is formed.
When one plate slides beneath another it is said to subduct. This is called a subduction zone. However, a continental plate cannot subduct, only an oceanic plate can. When two continental plates collide the land between them is squeezed horizontally, forming mountain ranges. Eventually the continental land masses will fuse together.

Various things happen along the Pacific ring of fire. In places the Pacific Plate slides alongside a Continental Plate. It does not slide smoothly but jerks. When that happens, an earthquake occurs. In other places it slides underneath a Continental Plate. That can lead to an earthquake. When it slides under land, it can lead to a volcano. When it slides under the ocean it can cause a Tsunami. In some places the plate has been still for centuries.

Subduction takes place primarily at convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. This process occurs in areas such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, where oceanic plates are being subducted beneath continental plates, leading to volcanism and seismic activity.
During subduction, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate into the Earth's mantle. This typically occurs at convergent plate boundaries where two plates collide. As the subducting plate sinks into the mantle, it can cause various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
