What else can I help you with?
When Benioff zones are plotted on a map they show what?
Benioff zones plotted on a map show the location of earthquakes along a subduction zone where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another. This helps scientists understand the depth and angle of the subducting plate and study the seismic activity associated with subduction.
What is it called when two plates slide one under the other?
It is known as subduction.
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.
Is subduction divergent?
Subduction is a process that takes place at convergent boundaries.
What is it called when one plate is pushed under another plate as the collide?
subduction boundary!!!
What is a synonym for subduction?
A synonym for subduction is decrease.

How do you spell subduction?
That is the correct spelling of "subduction."
What did the pattern of earthquakes in the wadati-Benioff seafloor zones show?
Slabs of ocean floor return to the mantle in subduction zones
What is the process in which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle is called?
The process in which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle is called subduction. This occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where one tectonic plate slides beneath another. Subduction zones are associated with deep-sea trenches and volcanic activity.
What is it called when two plates slide one under the other?
It is known as subduction.
Which is required for an ocean trench to form?
Subduction.
Where can subduction volcanos be found?
the subduction volcano is found where
Is mount Cleveland a subduction zone?

What is the name of the process where ocean crust sinks back toward the mantle?
It is called subduction and only occurs in oceanic to oceanic or oceanic to continental plate collisions.
The area where a plate descends is a?
subduction zone
What does a continental margin have that an active margin does not?
Subduction. A subduction trench.
