The subducted plate descends into the mantle at subduction zone
Subduction Zone
A "subduction zone".
This is known as a subduction zone.
Subduction is part of the geological process of plate tectonics. A subduction zone is a place where the oceanic plate is sinking back in to the mantle (usually at the edge of a continental plate.

In a subduction zone the crust is forced inot the mantle where it is eventually melted and destroyed
This is known as a subduction zone.
A subduction zone is a tectonic boundary where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another. So, in a subduction zone, the process of subduction is taking place, rather than being created or destroyed.

The Earth's plates sink into the mantle because of one plate pushing another down, causing a subduction zone.
