Subduction zones represent convergent boundaries, where oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust, or under a less dense oceanic crust.
"subduction"
A convergent boundary is formed when plates collide. At this type of boundary, the denser plate sinks beneath the less dense plate in a process known as subduction. This collision often results in the formation of mountain ranges, volcanoes, and deep ocean trenches.

In plate tectonics, when two tectonic plates move toward each other, it results in the formation of what is called a convergent plate boundary. The two plates are said to converge. One plate may be more dense than the other, and with the two plates pushing against each other, the plate that is more dense will "slide under" the other plate. The plate sliding under is said to subduct the other plate, and this creates what is called a subduction zone. Not all convergent plate boundaries have subduction zones, but all subduction zones are formed at convergent plate boundaries.

Yes, a subduction zone is a type of convergent boundary where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate.

A region where a plate descends is called a subduction zone. In this type of plate boundary, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another due to differences in density. Subduction zones are commonly associated with volcanic activity and earthquakes.
A convergent plate boundary is caused by a downward convection current in the mantle. At these boundaries, tectonic plates move towards each other, resulting in subduction zones or collision zones, where one plate is forced beneath the other.
subduction
This occurs at a convergent plate boundary and is known as subduction.
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
